The Teaching American History grant is affiliated with the Center for the Teaching of American History. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, this grant addresses both local and national needs in a unique partnership among the Broome-Tioga Board of Cooperative Services, two prominent historians in the department of history at Binghamton University -- Kathryn Kish Sklar and Thomas Dublin -- and the School of Education.

 

This partnership is developing a series of related initiatives to improve the quality of teacher training and teacher professional development in Broome and Tioga counties. The project is improving the high school teaching of American History in the 15 public school districts in New York's Southern Tier.
