NMAD’s in-person and virtual professional development programs provide educators with engaging ways to integrate the history, practice, and skills of diplomacy into their teaching.
Fall 2024 Virtual Teaching Diplomacy Workshops
Are you interested in bringing the world into your classroom? Do you want to inspire your students to be globally engaged? The National Museum of American Diplomacy (NMAD) is here to help with our fall virtual teacher workshops!
In the one-hour session, we will share how to introduce and incorporate diplomacy and global perspectives into your curriculum with our video products, classroom activities, lessons, an online interactive, and our highly popular diplomacy simulation program.
Through these free resources, we give educators and students the language and skills of diplomats. Our resources incorporate 21st-century skills that encourage global competencies, knowledge, and attitudes, which will empower students to consider new perspectives and become engaged citizens.
The same workshop will be offered on seven different dates and times:
Thursday, September 5, 2024, 1:00 – 2:00 pm EDT
Wednesday, September 18, 2024, 5:00 – 6:00 pm EDT
