The document outlines the agenda and goals of a teacher training workshop on American history. The workshop aims to improve teachers' understanding of 19th century American history, particularly around the growth of slavery and local responses. The agenda includes an orientation, a performance on Ellen Craft's escape from slavery, a classroom workshop on cotton and the textile industry, and a session on the growth of slavery in the 19th century led by a history professor. Teachers will complete evaluations and pre- and post-tests on American history content. Resources for teaching about slavery will also be shared.
