Seminars

Participating in a Primary Source full-day seminar enables you and fellow teachers to interact with scholars from Boston and New England's finest universities and educators who bring deep expertise on your seminar's subject. Lasting 3-5 days, usually from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., these seminars feature scholarly presentations incorporating a variety of media, interactive teacher-led workshops modeling classroom and curriculum activities, and occasional field trips to museums and cultural sites. Assigned reading prior to the seminar enhances your capacity to engage vigorously with content and provides shared background knowledge with other participants. PDPs are awarded after completion of a short curriculum project and some seminars offer graduate credit for written curricula. Full-day seminars are typically hosted at Primary Source's conference spaces.
