Outreach: Expanding the Ancient World for Teachers

Expanding the Ancient World is a series of professional development workshops and online resources for teachers.

A group of people stand around a pyramidal stone object on a display stand. One gestures at the object. Another display case containing gold jewelry can be seen behind them.

Keyed to the NYC Department of Education Social Studies Scope and Sequence, this program is designed to offer K-12 educators opportunities to develop their knowledge of the ancient world and to provide classroom-ready strategies for teaching the past with reliable sources.

A group of people in a darkened lecture hall wear 3D glasses. Featuring inquiry-based workshops, flexible lesson plans, and up-to-date research, Expanding the Ancient World aims to equip teachers with information and skills that they can share with their students. CTLE credits will be offered to New York State teachers.
