Ensuring effective teaching of American History is at the heart of
the Northside Independent School District's (NISD) Teaching American
History grant, 'Our country 'tis of thee: Northside ISD American
History Collaborative.' In partnership with Texas State University
and the Smithsonian Center for Education and Museum Studies, the
NISD 'Our country 'tis of thee American History Collaborative's goals
in turn support the overall objectives of the US Department of Education.
NISD's Grant
The purpose of the TAH Grant is to promote the teaching of
traditional American history in elementary and secondary schools as
a separate academic subject. Grants are used to improve the quality
of history instruction by supporting professional development for
teachers of American history.
