New Hampshire and the American Revolution: A Hands-On Workshop for Educators

The New Hampshire Historical Society presents a professional development opportunity focusing on New Hampshire and the American Revolution. This two-day workshop for elementary educators explores the history and provides ready-made lesson plans, projects, and activities from the “Moose on the Loose” that will help students in grades 3-8 understand the Revolution and its role in America’s unfolding story.

New Hampshire, one of the original thirteen colonies, has a robust revolutionary history with a lot of “firsts” that often get overlooked. Find out about Granite Staters who fought on the battlefield, championed American independence, and organized the home front in every New Hampshire town and village. The workshop includes explanatory lessons and summative projects from "Moose on the Loose: Social Studies for Granite State Kids," especially Unit 5: New Hampshire and the American Revolution.

Familiarity with the “Moose on the Loose” curriculum from a prior training will be vital in this workshop. Participants will be given resources ahead of the training to learn more about this high-quality state social studies curriculum for elementary grades created by the New Hampshire Historical Society.

Breakfast and lunch are included. Attendees will receive a $100 Target gift card and CEU credits for the two-day workshop, as well as additional CEU credits for any pre-training work they complete. Please note: participants of this workshop must be public or private school educators in New Hampshire.
