Before the workshop -> Watch the Documentary and Reflect on Standards-Aligned Themes
Join us for an engaging, standards-aligned professional development opportunity centered around a powerful new 2-hour MPB documentary premiering on September 18, 2025. This workshop is designed to help educators integrate documentary-based instruction, primary sources, and inquiry-based learning into their classrooms using the Inquiry Design Model.
Educators earn 1 CEU and leave with evidence-based, standards aligned resources that can be applied to enhance student learning. They may earn additional CEUS by submitting an in-depth, scripted 2 week lesson plan based on the workshop blueprint.
