Four Corners Project

Organized by Michael Welsh of the University of Northern Colorado and supported by the U.S. Department of Education's Teaching American History program, the Four Corners Project brought me home to the Southwest to meet with teachers on the West Slope and in the Four Corners Region.We focused on the history of the American West and how students and teachers can recover more of that history through family stories and oral interviews. We also explored strategies and resources for teaching women's history and the broader framework of American history.

My goal is to help teachers in their important work. Below are readings for your own continuing education and some resources that you can bring to your classrooms.
