JTHG Teacher Development Program
Take the Journey… then… Teach the Journey
The Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership offers a college-level course that allows teachers to further their education and develop new skills in teaching the history. This immersive development program offers educators a valuable opportunity to experience historical sites along the Journey.
After walking the Underground Railroad, reliving a Revolutionary War ambush, or sitting in the very farmhouse where John Brown planned the Harpers Ferry raid, a teacher connects with the subject matter on a personal level and, subsequently, incorporates these first-hand experiences into his or her teaching plans.
What people are saying about JTHG Continuing Education Program for Teachers:
“I can hang the rest of what I want to do in the curriculum on these historic places.”

Teach America History
The Teach America History program is designed to give social studies teachers a first hand understanding of the unparalleled early American history that occurred in the Hallowed Ground corridor, and to provide them with the tools to teach in new and innovative ways.
