Department of History Partners on New Teaching American History Grant

The Department of History's partnership with Northside ISD
(San Antonio) on a Teaching American History grant proposal,
"Our Country 'tis of Thee: Northside ISD American History Collaborative," for the 2008-2010 cycle won approval from the U.S. Dept. of Education. This is the fourth TAH grant for the department and first with a school district outside the San Marcos vicinity. Unlike the three previous grants, the department will be conducting the institutes at Northside ISD rather than on campus. The institutes will take place on 5 Friday-Saturday dates throughout the academic year. The department will be subcontracting with the College of Education to provide the assessment. Ms. Trace Etienne-Gray, History Education Specialist, will be serving as program coordinator, and a number of American history faculty will be participating as instructors.
