The Henry Ford Learning Series
January 20, February 10, March 2, April 13, May 4 and May 11, 2012 (9am–5:30pm) in Anderson Theater
Every individual can remember a teacher who made an unforgettable impact on his or her life. Teachers are passionate, hardworking, positive influences on a child’s life. Besides imparting knowledge, they subtly mold who we become. Teachers are learners, too. They strive to explore ways with which they can make learning fun for the students. Teachers are the epitome of perseverance as they creatively address challenges, such as funding cuts, long hours of work and preparation, test mandates and various student learning styles. At The Henry Ford, we believe teachers are our partners in education, and they need to be empowered in inspiring ways. Our new American History Educator Workshop Series is designed to engage, empower, enlighten and re-energize teachers with immersive learning experiences!
