A three-week, combined-format institute for 30 K-12 teachers on women’s lives and experiences during the American Revolution.

The New-York Historical Society is delighted to propose an entirely new Level I project that will convene 30 teachers in grades K-12 with select guest scholars and museum professionals to reframe the American Revolution through the lens of women’s history. This hybrid institute will fulfill three weeks of work over several months. It will include two weeks in person at the New-York Historical Society from July 10-21, 2023, and virtual evening sessions on June 14, August 30, September 27, October 25, and November 19, 2023.
