"One of our high school teachers in our grant is so excited to be using Bill Ross' bracketing method, and says the kids are loving it. Another teacher is using some other methods gained from the summer institute, with great results. They are so excited about all they've learned that they have inspired a third colleague to apply for the Liberty Fellowship. That will pretty much complete the department for their small rural high school. That's pretty neat. We are adding an additional high school teacher from one of our largest high schools due to her colleague's enthusiastic attitude. If we keep this up, we're going to have to start meeting in a different building!
This enthusiasm is attributed to the excellent program AIHE provides in the Liberty Fellowship. With our rural location, and the lack of any four year institute, it is a much needed program, and greatly appreciated. Thank you for the quality professors and master history teachers you send our way." |

| " I envisioned one idea about how the early settlements looked and it was somewhat different than what we toured. Excellent! Long walk but worth every step! The guide for the Freedom Trail was outstanding!' Visiting these sites provided a more visual aspect for teaching about the Revolution. Excellent!, A lot of planning went into this trip." |

| "Excellent! I loved Steve Missal and Friends. It was a great way to begin the day. I liked the music in history. It has stimulated my interest and I'm looking forward to applying what I saw and heard." |

| "History through song was amazing. Dr. Kersch was terrific, he showed how the information we have been learning can be applied to current day events. His question and answer method of instruction really made you think." |

| "Dr. Kevin Brady provided a geographical image of the push and pull factors of slavery. In doing so, he promoted a casual relationship between landforms and decisions pertaining to commerce. Dr. Kevin Brady brings history to life." |

| "Dr. Brady, Dr. Denenberg, Dr. Ross, & Dr. Williams, are fabulous. EachOne of these gentlemen has so much to offer the educational field. Dr. Brady's use of Binary Paideia is an excellent way to have students see the connections/differences of different eras & socialize. Dr. Denenberg's use of American Hero's allows students to learn history without realizing it. Dr. Ross's This Day in History is an enjoyable way to learn about significant moments in history with some fun and interesting anecdotes. Dr. Williams' Take on the Civil Rights Movement with both compels and astounds you!" |
