Date: August 6, 2024 

Location: NHMU Swaner Forum

Description: 

Presented in partnership with the Utah State Historic Preservation Office and Utah Cultural Site Stewardship Program, this workshop will focus on Utah’s rich cultural history and how you can help to protect it by integrating engaging curriculum-aligned tools and activities into your classroom. Dive deeper into the science of archaeology by exploring artifacts and finding out what we can learn about people from the belongings and histories they leave behind. We will discuss the importance of protecting cultural sites, the ways you and your students can help, and how the past still connects to living people today. This workshop will primarily align with 4th-5th grade Social Studies standards, but it is free and open to all K-12 public school teachers.

3 relicensure hours will be awarded through MIDAS for attending.
