Teacher Professional Development Programs Begin this Summer at Nixon Library

The Richard Nixon Foundation announced a partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute, a New York-based nonprofit organization dedicated to K-12 history education, to host a series of educational seminars for America’s teachers, and develop curriculum about American civics.

Forty K–12 teachers will participate in a weeklong professional development event at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum this summer. Participants will engage in an in-depth study of American leadership on the world stage throughout the 20th century.

The seminar will be directed by Jeffrey A. Engel, the founding director of the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University and the author or editor of thirteen books on American foreign policy.
