Port Allen: This winter, the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities (LEH) will host an Institute for Louisiana Culture and History (ILCH) regional workshop for social studies K-12 educators at the West Baton Rouge Museum on Saturday, December 7th. This workshop will focus on Louisiana's Reconstruction-era history in alignment with the Louisiana Department of Education's (LDOE) latest 7th grade social studies standards.
The workshop will provide Louisiana public school social studies educators the opportunity to build their content knowledge by engaging with historians and participating in social studies working sessions exploring how to use expanded standards-aligned content found on LEH's 64 Parishes online encyclopedia, 64parishes.org, in the classroom.
The institute will provide a $150 stipend to all regional workshop participants on completion of the one-day workshop. Applications for each workshop will open one month before the workshop date and will be evaluated on a rolling basis. Social studies educators and specialists employed by public schools in Louisiana, with a preference for those working with 7th grade social studies content, are encouraged to apply at
