American History Cowboy Coalition

The AHCC has three levels of membership:

The bronze level offers to all interested teachers (regardless of their subject area or grade level) workshops, summer field trips, resources and materials (such as books, posters, maps, and GPS units), and substitute fees when attending a history-related professional development activity.

The silver level offers the same benefits and workshops as the bronze level, plus mentoring and individual attention from the project director as well as priority registration in workshops and bonus materials. Silver members will participate in a few simple assessment sessions and at least 75% of professional development activities.

The gold level offers all the benefits and requirements of the silver level plus an additional two hours of continuing education credit, monthly meetings, input on the future of history education, peer connections and collaboration, and many more resources.

The AHCC also has a control group cohort that participates in a few simple assessment sessions but does not partake of any AHCC offerings or resources

The 2010 theme is Innovation in History. More information about the theme and rules can be obtained by visiting either the state or national History Day webpages.

To help raise awareness about the benefit of returning the census, the Complete Count Committee of Casper and Natrona County School District are hosting a public service announcement contest to give Middle School and High School students in our district the opportunity to creatively address the importance of the census.

For registration materials or more information about the contest, please contact martha_karavitis@natronaschools.org

See link below for more information and lesson ideas surrounding the 2010 census.
