A Great Teacher's Tool Box---The Conference on Illinois History

By attending The Conference on Illinois History you can accomplish at least two very important things. One, you can attend a session for teachers interested in an aspect of Illinois. The session this year was given by Professor Gerald Danzer, a specialist in the history of maps, about using historical Illinois maps in the classroom. Each year the teacher's session is different. Two, you can earn a C.P.D.U. for that teacher session but--in addition--earn a C.P.D.U. for each of the other sessions you attend at the Conference on Illinois. If you want to broaden your knowledge of our state's history and/or ready yourself for teaching Illinois history, you will find the Conference is a good place to do that. The other sessions cover all aspects of our state's past, for example, labor history, women's history, and constitutional history. And, third, the big bonus is a chance to interact with other teachers, learn what and how they are teaching their students, and rejuvenate your creativity. You can return to your classrooms with a new set of teaching tools. Think about attending.
