Please note: this program is part of our series of Youth Entrepreneurship Education (YEE) Teacher Learning Events for 2024-2025. More information on the series is available below, and more information on YEE is available here.

This session will provide techniques and activities for using history and social studies lessons to assist students in developing reading and vocabulary skills. The core of historical research, and the core of our YEE programs, are the primary and secondary sources about entrepreneurs and businesses preserved in the WRHS Library collections. By engaging students in these resources, teachers can achieve multiple learning objectives in their classrooms.

Youth Entrepreneurship Education Teacher Learning Events

In 2024-2025, WRHS will host 7 professional learning events related to our Youth Entrepreneurship Education continuum, which offers field experiences and curriculum for grades 4-7. While some of these events are meant to on-board eligible teachers into the YEE program, others are meant to illuminate aspects of entrepreneurship, innovation, and history that continue to define Northeast Ohio today.

While these events are intended to serve teachers from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and other first-ring districts eligible for participation in the grant-funded field experiences provided by YEE, all teachers are welcome.

All programs in this series will be held at the Cleveland History Center (10825 East Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44106), except the November Road Trip. Road Trip registrants will receive additional instructions once the minimum registration is met.
