Hot day, hot teachers exploring the Black Heritage Trail in Boston with the National Park Service and 11 awesome Boston Public Schools teachers. This is the seventh year of the Place-Based Boston collaborative's summer teacher institute on teaching with historic places.
Hot day, but our @BostonSchools teachers are on 🔥 thinking about ways to use the sites on the Black Heritage Trail as opportunities for place-based learning with their students.

This week, the Museum hosted @BostonSchools teachers for the @PlaceBasedBOS Summer Institute as they learn how to incorporate historic sites and resources into their teaching. These teachers rose to the occasion and successfully completed our Ship Design Challenge!
