Back to History is a professional development program for K-12 teachers in Ohio's Educational Regional Service System (ERSS) Region 10, including Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, and Preble counties. This program combines the resources of The Ohio State University, the Ohio Historical Society, and the Clark County Educational Service Center to support and improve the teaching of traditional American history.
By involving teachers in a project designed to increase the depth, breadth, and quality of history and social studies teachers' content knowledge, understanding and appreciation of traditional American history through an intensive, ongoing professional development program, Back to History will improve American history instruction in six Ohio counties.
Back to History participants will receive: (1) a $1,000 stipend, (2) three hours of non-degree graduate credit from The Ohio State University or equivalent CEUs, (3) program materials, including books and primary source packets and CDs, (4) payment to their school for substitute days spent at the project's two weekday seminars, and (5) opportunities to interact with peers, professional historians, and original collections material from the Ohio Historical Society.
