Teacher Professional Development Seminar
The Great Depression and World War II
Summer 2004

The Roosevelt Presidential Library invites educators to participate in The Roosevelt Era 1929-45: The Great Depression and World War II: a seven-day comprehensive residential institute designed to renew and revitalize teaching on the crucial years that marked the dawn of the modern era in domestic and world affairs.

• Each seminar will be team-led by a distinguished academic historian in partnership with a master teacher and based at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York.
• The seminar includes daily curriculum-writing workshops enabling each educator to produce a customized curriculum on the Roosevelt Era by the seminar's conclusion.
• Participants will receive books, curriculum support materials, and tools to find new resources on their own.
• Program sessions are designed in conjunction with national history curriculum standards on the Great Depression and World War II and feature special units on archival document-based research, Internet resources, teaching with historic places, films and videos.
• Seminar activities include special behind-the-scenes tours of the presidential archive, the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, Eleanor Roosevelt's cottage, Val-Kill, and FDR's newly restored retirement retreat, Top Cottage.
• The Roosevelt Era 1929-45: The Great Depression and World War II will be the inaugural educational program in the Library's new state-of-the-art Henry A. Wallace Conference Center.

School districts are encouraged to enroll one or more educators, or reserve an entire seminar for their staff's exclusive instruction.
