Building for the Future: A Professional Development Workshop for Teachers

Preservation Trust education staff will join K-12 teachers in exploring the idea of engaging students with the built environment, both as it was done at the time of the Burnham Plan in 1909 through the use of the Wacker Manual, and as it is approached in schools and museums today.  Several educators who have completed successful standards-based projects in architecture, design, urban planning and the built environment will share their ideas, activities, challenges, and achievements.  Participants will then draw from this information and experience to develop a unit or lesson plan to be implemented in their own classrooms.

This workshops earns participants 3 CPDUs.
