Programs for Educators

The National Liberty Museum's Teacher Training Workshops provide cutting-edge professional development on topics of immediate concern to educators in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and beyond. Workshops are highly interactive and appropriate for teachers of all grade levels, administrators, school counselors and even parents! The program includes hands-on lesson plans that meet state standards, resource materials, instruction from expert presenters, and suggestions on how to use the National Liberty Museum's content to reinforce learning. Our workshops give you the tools you need to nurture a culture of achievement and deal more effectively with violence and bigotry in your classroom or community.

Each National Liberty Museum teacher training workshop provides 15 hours of Act 48 Continuing Professional Education Credits approved by both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Departments of Education. Our workshops are conducted at various times throughout the year. Sessions are held on Saturdays to accommodate your busy schedule. A fee of just $50 per workshop covers the cost of lunch and curriculum materials. All workshops are held at the Museum from 9am – 3:30pm.
