The New York State Historical Association's annual October Conference for Teachers is a two-day professional development opportunity focused on current issues, topics, concerns, and practices in social studies education.
Each year the conference attracts several hundred educators to the campuses of Fenimore Art Museum and The Farmers' Museum during the picturesque autumn of the Leatherstocking Region.
The 50th annual conference will take place from Thursday, October 16 to Saturday, October 18, 2008.
In celebration of our 50th year, the New York State Historical Association is bringing back our previous conference format, which includes an Opening Reception on Thursday evening, presentation sessions on Friday that culminate in our annual Harvest Dinner, and fun-filled hands-on workshops on Saturday morning. We are also pleased to offer all meals – including our Harvest Dinner – as part of conference registration.
We are now accepting proposals for conference sessions. Click here to download a Proposal Submission Form (pdf)
Registration for the 2008 October Conference for Teachers will open in August.
