The Project

DIG has launched a project supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education for high school U.S. history teachers. Participating teachers will receive professional development focused on the use of new Reading Like a Historian lessons that include digital literacy instruction.

The Commitment

Selected teachers must attend all four professional development sessions, complete an asynchronous course, participate in coaching sessions, and implement 4-8 lessons on U.S. history topics in the first semester of the 2024-2025 school year.

Criteria and Selection

All high school teachers in U.S. states and territories who will teach U.S. history in the 2024-2025 school year are eligible and encouraged to apply. Cohorts will be selected with geographic spread in mind and with preference given to teachers at schools eligible for Title I funding.
