Professional Development

Teaching is a demanding job. Our cutting-edge training gives you the tools and educational resources you need to succeed. During our Professional Development Workshops, expert presenters provide instruction that supports targeted, standards-aligned learning objectives.

The workshops may include case studies, facilitated discussion, lesson planning and practice, exploration of the National Liberty Museum’s art and exhibits, and new academic resources you can use immediately in the classroom. Our Act 48 Professional Development Workshops are approved by both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Departments of Education.

We do not have any Professional Development Workshops scheduled for the remainder of the 2017-2018 school year. We are working hard to restructure and enhance our program so that it meets the needs of a broader range of participants.

Welcome the Stranger Exhibit

Welcome the Stranger, a one-woman exhibit of cast glass, ceramics, and mixed media by artist Micaela Amateau Amato, will be on display in our GlassAccess Gallery from March 9 - June 9, 2019. This collection of works is Amato's interpretation of modern and historic figures who rose like “superheroes” to accept seemingly impossible challenges of liberty. Shown here are cast glass sculptures of Harriet Tubman and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Liberty Forum: Firearms

We will discuss the issue of firearms with our Moderator Intersect Alliance, along with invited experts and other participants. Our goal is to provide attendees with the tools needed for moving our conversations on hot button issues, like this, offline and back into human discussions.
