An Unlikely Memorial: Ford’s Theatre and the Lincoln Assassination
Thursday, March 14 - 7:15 a.m. - 1:15 p.m.
Come to Ford’s Theatre to learn about the violent act that carried
the United States from the Civil War into Reconstruction, the city
block and buildings that hold its memory, and the conspiracy that
nearly brought down the United States government. You will
participate in a private tour of Ford’s Theatre, a reflective discussion
and a theatrical walking tour, led by the police detective who was
tasked with investigating the conspiracy. Expect to walk about two
miles on city streets, and dress for both indoor and outdoor weather.
George Washington’s Mount Vernon
Thursday, March 14 - 7:45 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Come to Mount Vernon to explore a variety of historical sources
related to George Washington’s life, including his estate,
considered by many to be the autobiography he never wrote.
Participants will get special access to the new Be Washington
Theater, an interactive experience where guests have the
opportunity to step into George Washington’s shoes and make
decisions based on the circumstances he faced during the
presidency and in wartime. Also, guests will get the rare
opportunity to receive a fully-guided experience of the Mansion
and Grounds, before finally taking part in an education teacher
workshop and document viewing highlighting diverse primary
sources to bring back to your classroom.
The National Portrait Gallery
Thursday, March 14 - 8:15 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Be inspired to use portraiture in your classroom. No matter what subject -- social studies, English, or visual arts –
you will learn and practice techniques to involve your students in creative and innovative ways. The Smithsonian’s
National Portrait Gallery tells the multifaceted story of America through the individuals who have shaped its
culture. Through the visual arts, performing arts and new media, the Portrait Gallery portrays poets and
presidents, visionaries and villains, actors and activists whose lives tell the American story. By using portraiture
as a springboard into deeper discussions about biography and our collective history, the Portrait Gallery strives
to create an unprecedented experience for teachers as we gain a glimpse into the past and examine portraiture
of the present. This workshop will take a broad look at the museum’s collection. Teachers will learn key
close-looking strategies, such as the 30-Second Look, Compare and Contrast, and Unveiling Stories, to
engage students in analyzing portraits. By using portraiture to teach critical thinking skills, teachers will
translate the strategies presented seamlessly into the classroom.Enrichment Excursions The Library of Congress
Thursday, March 14 - 8:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Come visit the Library of Congress and take a tour of the historic
Jefferson Building. Then, meet with education specialists for a
hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to access and use
millions of freely available, digitized primary sources from the
Library's collections with your students. The Library of Congress
will not be charging anything for this enrichment experience, and
all digitized primary sources you wish to use later are also freely
available! The tour cost is to cover transportation only.
The National Archives
Thursday, March 14 - 12:45 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Join us for a private, behind-the-scenes tour of the National Archives
to explore the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights
and many other treasures the museum has to offer. The staff-led tour
will begin on the private side of the building, where visitors will gain
insight into the process of research, preservation and document
storage at the Archives. This will include a look at National Archives
research facilities and resources, as well as a tour of the stacks where
documents are stored. From there, visitors will travel to the public side
of the building to learn about the history of the Archives and see the
Charters of Freedom housed in the Rotunda. Finally, visitors will see
the 1297 Magna Carta and the featured documents in the Archives
Public Vaults.
Using DBQs to Engage Students in Authentic Historical Inquiry
Thursday, March 14 - 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
The DBQ Project was created to help teachers help students at ALL grade levels read with understanding, think
straight, and write clearly. Our engaging questions and use of primary and secondary sources give students the
opportunity to investigate history from a variety of perspectives, and supports discussion and debate as students
clarify their own ideas and write evidence-based arguments. Highlighting a unit from both our American and World
history materials, participants will gain a solid overview of The DBQ Project materials and understand how our
resources and pedagogy aligns with the current shifts in history education. The DBQ Online platform will also be
used to show how technology can support deep historical thinking. Presented by Chip Brady.Enrichment Excursions
The Newseum: The Civil Rights Movement and the 1st Amendment
Thursday, March 14 - 1:15 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Explore how people exercised the power of the First Amendment to fight segregation during a workshop and tour
at the Newseum. Our Making a Change: The Civil Rights Movement and the First Amendment workshop invites
participants to look at the era from a different angle: How did activists use the five freedoms to achieve their
goals? How did Martin Luther King Jr. harness the power of the news media? View a Newseum-made
documentary based on primary sources, and get resources and strategies that bridge the gap between social
movements then and now. Then, take a guided tour of Newseum highlights that includes a stop at the “Make
Some Noise” gallery, which looks at how young people fought segregation in the 1960s.
Building a World History Curriculum: Challenges and Opportunities
Thursday, March 14 - 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
World History is a dynamic and complex field of study. Even for veteran teachers, it can be difficult to navigate
thousands of years of history, illuminate cross-cultural encounters, and still address issues of skill development.
NCHE is proud to present a panel of scholars and practitioners to discuss how to construct a World History
curriculum that is both meaningful for students and feasible for teachers. Panelists will examine the origins of the
field and its foundational texts before moving into the current state of the discipline. Emphasis will be placed on
devising strategies to help students think about topics such as periodization, scale, contextualization, and
connectivity. The “workshop” format encourages conversation amongst participants and resources will be made
available to help people hit the ground running in the design of their course.
The Monumental City: Washington, DC at Night
Thursday, March 14 - 6:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
Join us for a special night tour of Washington’s monuments. This three hour tour features step offs at most of
D.C.’s most prominent monuments, including the Lincoln, Vietnam, Korean, World War II, Jefferson, Martin
Luther King, and National Marine (Iwo Jima) Memorials. The design and content of the memorials often tell as
much about the time of their establishment as they tell of the event or person they are memorializing. The tour
will include the range of Washington history, from its creation and design to the evolving street plan. Attendees
will also drive the main streets of Washington to view the White House, Capitol, and the museums along the
National Mall. There will be ample photo opportunities to share with your students. Veteran tour guide Dr. Rich
Loosbrock, Professor of History and Department Chair at Adams State University, Colorado, will lead this.
Loosbrock has done more than two dozen extended field trip tours for Teaching American History grant tours of
Washington, and this tour will provide first time visitors a solid overview of the city. He is the author of History
Channel’s “This Day in Civil War History.”

Friday Night at the Anderson House
Join NCHE and the American Revolution Institute for an
evening at Anderson House, its headquarters on Embassy
Row. The Society of the Cincinnati (America’s oldest patriotic
organization —George Washington and Alexander Hamilton
were its first presidents) founded the Institute in 2012 to
promote and support effective education on the American
Revolution. The Institute offers a wide range of products and
programs, at little or cost to educators, to enrich learning on
the Revolution and its legacy. The Institute’s headquarters is
located in one of the city’s most elegant mansions, completed
in 1905. Today, in addition to some of Washington’s most
beautiful interiors (President Taft preferred the dining room
over the State Dining Room in the White House), the mansion
houses one of the world’s most important special collections
libraries on the American Revolution and a major collection of
art and artifacts from the Revolution as well
as the Anderson’s collection of art from all parts of the world. The Society has hosted presidents, kings
and prime ministers at Anderson House, and is looking forward to welcoming you for a reception with
plenty of hors d’oeuvres (no one should leave hungry) and a bar hosted by the Society, which has been
entertaining continuously since its members began celebrating their victory in the Revolutionary War in
1783 (you should see the bar bill from that one!). Jack D. Warren, Jr., the Society’s Executive Director,
will deliver a welcome address and describe how educational professionals can enlist to help the
Institute protect the memory, ideals and legacy of the American Revolution.Breakout Sessions

Enrichment Excursions
Following in the Footsteps of Suffragists
Saturday, March 16 - 3:15 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
On March 3, 1913, thousands paraded from the U.S. Capitol to the
Treasury Building in support of the decades-long fight to gain women the
right to vote. Organized by Alice Paul, the parade was a grand spectacle
of floats, marching bands, and mounted brigades. However, the parade
was marred by violence perpetrated by a mostly male crowd who
reportedly tripped, shoved, and grabbed marching women. Over 200
people were injured with the police allegedly doing little to quell the unrest.
Join us as we follow in the footsteps of this seminal parade, which is long-
credited for being the tipping point that led to the passing of the 19th
Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. We will start at
Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument, the newly minted
national monument that houses the National Woman’s Party. We will walk
the parade route, before ending at Lafayette Square where suffragists
planned and picketed in front of the White House. This tour will consist of
about a mile-and-a-half worth of walking, so please dress for the weather,
bring water, and wear appropriate shoes.

Historic Congressional Cemetery
Saturday, March 16 - 3:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Historic Congressional Cemetery dates from the days when Washington, DC, was a new city on the edge of a
malarial swamp. The stones—sandstone tablets with colonial calligraphy, ornate Victorian statues, 20th-century
art nouveau carvings, and contemporary markers in shapes as strange as library cards and accordions—are a
time line of the city. The most distinctive stones are 171 cenotaphs; large cubes designed by Capitol architect
Benjamin Henry Latrobe from the same sandstone used in the Capitol. They are found nowhere else. The men
and women buried under those stones led lives of beauty, courage, struggle, cunning, leadership, and humor—
in short, the stories of American history. This tour will consist of about a mile-and-a-half worth of walking over
often-uneven ground, so please dress for the weather, bring water, and wear appropriate shoes.You can also read
