dc.description.abstract	Everyday Americans, Exceptional Americans was a Teaching American History grant, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, that provided professional development opportunities for elementary, middle-, and high-school teachers from 2011-2013. Teachers participated in a 1- or 2-week summer institute led by professor Christopher Hamner. Workshops blended lectures, demonstrations of teaching strategies, and hands-on activities that emphasize content and historical thinking skills. Workshop themes included: War and Society, America on the World Stage, Understanding Freedom, and Struggles for Equality. The website homepage provides resources for teachers nationally, including primary source activities, lessons, teaching resources, and podcasts. It also included a course blog for participating teachers. Hosted at chnm.gmu.edu/tah-loudoun.
