Abstract

so they could consider how American history should record the stories of all people. The focus of this project was both historical inquiry and the history of race in America. We hoped to involve teachers in doing the work of historians in a setting in which they were apprenticed to and in dialogue with historians. Our principal goal was to enhance teachers' desire and ability to engage in historical inquiry so that they would be more likely to engage their own students, in grades 3-1 1, in the construction of historical knowledge and understandings using history's most natural evidence-the stories that are told by common and uncommon people who were present at or keenly affected by key events in American history. The Summer Institute is part of an on-going American History as Dialogue Project funded by the United States Department of Education
