What Counts Counts: Using  the APEX Platform to Capture Classroom Practice

Gilder Lehrman Symposiums:

Each Gilder Lehrman Symposium pairs in-depth historical insight with classroom-ready application. A leading historian opens the session with a deep dive into a key American history topic, followed by breakout workshops for Elementary and Secondary teachers. These workshops are led by Gilder Lehrman Master Teachers—expert educators trained in the Teaching Literacy Through History (TLTH) approach—who model how to turn scholarship into engaging, literacy-rich lessons. Teachers leave with stronger content knowledge and practical strategies they can use immediately in their classrooms. 

Elementary Professional Learning Network Webinar Series

This four-session series guides elementary educators through a shared reading and discussion of a foundational inquiry text, exploring how inquiry-based teaching can become an everyday practice in the elementary classroom. 

Secondary Professional Learning Network Webinar Series

Inquiry-Based Practice in the Classroom is a flexible four-part online professional learning series that blends live and asynchronous sessions to help educators design and implement C3-aligned, inquiry-based lessons—beginning with Social Studies—centered on the compelling question, How do I help all students inquire?, and focused on making inquiry doable, accessible, and engaging for all learners.
