Description
Through a partnership with the California Department of Education, the National Humanities Center (NHC) offers California educators free registration in a series of live, online professional development seminars for history, literature, and humanities teachers. These interactive programs offer educators:
- Increased content knowledge
- New teaching resources

- Develop critical thinking and improve problem solving skills
- Analyze and evaluate evidence, arguments, claims and beliefs
- Synthesize and make connections between information and arguments
Each National Humanities Center seminar provides three hours of professional development. Five NHC seminars will provide one credit, or a variety of seminars and other programs may be combined to total fifteen hours. Less
