SUMMARY:Arizona Historic Preservation Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Arizona State Historic Preservation Office\, the Arizona Preservation Foundation\, and the City of Phoenix invite you to join them at the 14th Annual Arizona Historic Preservation Conference. This year’s conference\, “Preservation Next” is being held in Phoenix on June 8th-10th\, 2016. The goal of the Conference is to bring together preservationists from around the state to exchange ideas and success stories\, to share perspectives and solutions to preservation issues\, and to foster cooperation between the diverse Arizona preservation communities. \nSo what is Preservation Next?   It is the concept that all preservation efforts must contain a component of planning for the future.  Preservation is an ongoing process; one cannot simply stabilize a structure or site and then stop.  One must ask\, “What is next?”  “What will preserve and protect this important resource for future generations?”  “And who will preserve them?”  It is our responsibility to shape future preservation efforts\, to educate the next generation of preservationists\, and to show them the value\, importance and fragility of these non-renewable resources.   With each new preservationist come new ideas\, and new technology\, and the world of preservation must evolve to make the methodologies and techniques of the past mesh with these new ideas to create the preservation plans for the future. \nIn 2016\, as we celebrate several important milestones in the preservation community\, such as the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service\, the 50th Anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act\, the 30th Anniversary of the Arizona Site Steward Program\, and more\, it is time to reflect on our many past accomplishments and challenges so we can plan Preservation Next. \nAs we move forward\, it is imperative that we work together to guide and influence what the future holds next for preservation.

SUMMARY:Teaching American History - Presidents and Political Parties
DESCRIPTION:What role should political parties play in our politics?  Did the Framers believe that political parties were pernicious evils to be avoided\, or necessary evils in a democratic system?  What is the relationship of presidents to Political Parties?  Should they remain above party politics\, be constrained by party politics\, or be the leaders of the parties? \nThis seminar explores how early American presidents confronted the issue of partisanship\, and later presidents worked within\, or against\, the party system that emerged in America. \n  \nhttp://teachingamericanhistory.org/event/one-day-seminars-presidents-and-political-parties-hosted-by-mesa-public-schools-phoenix-az/ \n  \nMore questions\, contact Jeremy Gypton at TeachingAmericanHistory.org \njgypton@tah.org \n

SUMMARY:The Cold War in the 1950s and 60s
DESCRIPTION:Weekend Colloquia at Historic Sites\nExplore history in the places it was made\nTeachingAmericanHistory.org is proud to offer a series of weekend colloquia for social studies teachers. These weekend colloquia allow teachers of American history and government to explore in depth the people and ideas you are asked to teach\, at the historic sites that help to illuminate the subject. \nWhat better way to learn about American history is there than by reading the primary sources\, and discussing them with talented colleagues? What better place to learn about American history than in the places it was made? Participating teachers will read a set of primary source documents (150-200 pages)\, travel to a relevant historic site\, and engage in conversation with up to 20 colleagues over the course of a weekend. \nThese conversations are open-ended – teachers are not expected to reach a set conclusion about the material\, are not required to take an assessment\, and are not asked to complete a lesson plan. Participating teachers are only expected to engage in thoughtful conversation. \nEach colloquium begins on Friday evening and concludes on Sunday morning. TAH.org will provide teachers selected to participate with accommodations for Friday and Saturday nights\, meals\, and materials for the weekend’s colloquium. In addition\, participants will receive a stipend of $225 to defray the cost of travel to and from the program site. Teachers have an opportunity to earn up to an additional $100 in stipend money by hosting a Teacher Roundtable\, presenting a lesson built around their program’s topics and documents to colleagues\, and/or help TAH.org bring a Seminar or Forum to their district. Details about each of these options will be mailed along with acceptance letters.

SUMMARY:Arizona Council on Economic Education “Economics in Action”
DESCRIPTION:Economics in Action – A Pre-ACSS Conference Workshop\nThis workshop is based on the publication Economics in Action: 14 Greatest Hits for Teaching High School Economics\,  available Virtual Economics. Author Jane Lopus\, along with John Morton and Debbie Henney will be the workshop facilitators.  \nThe philosophy behind the methodology is stated in the following proverb:  “I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand.”  When students approach the study of economics by doing something that challenges them to use economic reasoning to examine economic behavior\, they are more likely to understand the concepts being taught. \nIn this workshop\, six simulations such as “Why people trade”\, “Productivity”\, “The Invention Convention”\, “The Circular Flow of Economic Activity”\, “Property rights” and “Money and inflation” will be demonstrated.  These lessons are effective with high school and middle school students\, and they work for students of all ability levels.   \nRECEIVE 7 HOURS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT  \n$20 registration fee includes breakfast\, lunch\, Virtual Economics 4.0 thumb drive and workshop materials.
