Hello all:



First, let me apologize in advance for any cross postings.



I am the project coordinator for a Teaching American History grant based at Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.  We currently provide professional development on various topics in American history for high school social studies teachers in four southeastern Massachusetts school districts.



In May, we will be doing a two day workshop on using museums and local history with our teachers.  As my background is in museum education, I have been asked to serve as the faculty person for this workshop. 



As a result, I am looking for good resources on using museums and local history in the classroom that I can purchase or duplicate for the participants.  I am in the process of looking through my books from my grad program in museum studies, but most of them are geared toward museum professionals.



Does anyone have any suggestions of books, articles, or websites on this topic that are geared toward non-museum people, specifically teachers?



Thanks in advance for your help.



Sincerely,

Suzi Fonda
