                                          The Tsongas Industrial History Center, an educational partnership of
                                          UMass Lowell and Lowell National Historical Park, serves about 60,000
                                          teachers and students each year through hands-on workshops and tours
                                          of park sites and through teacher institutes that bring history and science
                                          alive. The center has received funding from the National Endowment for
                                          the Humanities to offer two Landmarks Workshops for teachers in the
                                          summer of 2010. Participants in these week-long workshops will actively
                                          explore the topic Inventing America: Lowell and the Industrial Revolution.
                                          Teachers receive a $1,200 stipend if they complete all requirements,
                                          including the development of lessons that address curriculum standards
                                          in their school. Teachers also receive 40-80 pdp’s and may register and
                                          pay for graduate credit from UMass Lowell. Administrators are also
                                          eligible to apply.
    Teachers, particularly those who teach US history or and/or use an interdisciplinary approach that integrates
    history with language arts, literature, science and technology, and mathematics are encouraged to apply.
    Using teaching resources provided by the Center, a team of teachers could create a unit of study for the whole
    grade.

    Inventing America: Lowell and the Industrial Revolution combines scholarly presentations with
    investigations of the canals, mills, worker housing, and exhibits of Lowell National Historical Park. Participants
    will access Lowell’s landmark resources, and will use drama, hands-on simulations, historical fiction, and field
    studies at Old Sturbridge Village, Walden Pond, and Concord, MA, to bring history to life.

The center has received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities to offer two Landmarks Workshops for teachers in the summer of 2010. Participants in these week-long workshops will actively explore the topic Inventing America: Lowell and the Industrial Revolution. Teachers receive a $1,200 stipend if they complete all requirements, including the development of lessons that address curriculum standards in their school. Teachers also receive 40-80 pdp’s and may register and pay for graduate credit from UMass Lowell. Administrators are also eligible to apply. Teachers, particularly those who teach US history or and/or use an interdisciplinary approach that integrates history with language arts, literature, science and technology, and mathematics are encouraged to apply. Using teaching resources provided by the Center, a team of teachers could create a unit of study for the whole grade. Inventing America: Lowell and the Industrial Revolution combines scholarly presentations with investigations of the canals, mills, worker housing, and exhibits of Lowell National Historical Park. Participants will access Lowell’s landmark resources, and will use drama, hands-on simulations, historical fiction, and field studies at Old Sturbridge Village, Walden Pond, and Concord, MA, to bring history to life.
