The DC History Center with Ford’s Theatre and other local history sites host Tapas for Teachers, a social event for educators.
The beginning of the school year is full of promise and possibility, along with plenty of uncertainty—and educators deserve a night out and support in their classrooms!
Join us at Tapas for Teachers on Thursday, September 19, as we celebrate the back to school season with Ford’s Theatre and your favorite local history sites. Enjoy free snacks and good conversation while you learn about teacher resources like professional development and field trips. We’ll also share National History Day guidance, tools, and tips, along with topic ideas for the theme: Rights and Responsibilities in History.
This annual event welcomes educators working with students of all levels and subjects. The DC History Center is committed to making our events accessible to all participants. If there’s an accommodation we can provide or something we can do to improve your experience, let us know by emailing us at [email protected]. There will be photography at this event, so consider repping your school’s swag!
