Any interested secondary social studies teacher is welcome to apply.  Through federal funding, we are able to offer teachers a $100 daily stipend for each day of the 4-day conference and we have blocked off rooms right near campus at a very reasonable rate.  We will utilize the facilities of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and the Learning Technology Center, both located on the UT-Austin campus.  We feel this will be a great learning experience for all teachers that attend.  

We have created a website with information about the institute.  Click here to visit the site and be sure to click on “Registration Information” in the navigation menu on the left side to fill out our Teacher Application if you are interested in attending.  We will notify all teachers that apply by May 8th.

Thanks and we hope to hear from you!

The Presidential Timeline Project Team
