From 1-24 July, 2009, Andrews University (my alma mater; undergraduate) will host a National Endowment for the Humanities Institute for Schoolteachers (K-12) on Daily Life in Ancient Times: Archaeology of Israel and Jordan. The institute will provide lecture-based and hands-on exposure to the history and archaeology of the ancient near east, along with tools and assistance to develop curricula and teaching plans for K-12 audiences. There are only 30 positions available.
The institute directors are Gloria London and Rhonda Root, professional academic archaeologists with long-established archaeological experience. Additional faculty are all top-notch (I personally know some), and should provide excellent instruction at an appropriate level. The plans for this institute look exciting, and I would strongly urge any interested teachers to apply for this opportunity.
You can find more information at the program’s website.
