The Teaching American History project is a three-year effort funded by the U.S. Department of Education involving NU's history department, American history teachers from the Evanston and Oak Park school systems, the Constitutional Rights Foundation of Chicago, National Louis University, and the Minority Student Achievement Network.  The goal of the project is to improve instruction in American history at the middle- and high-school levels and to foster a dialogue about specific curricular, historiographic, and pedagogical issues. NUAMPS has videotaped over 50 lectures and discussion sessions that are lead by NU faculty, and attended by the teachers participating in the program. NUAMPS has created an online video archive enabling teachers to review individual sessions as they teach topics taken up either in the summer institute or in the after-school sessions.
