Teachers from San Bernardino County and surrounding areas are able to train as Historical Literacy Coaches or be involved as participating teachers. Following the institute teachers attend professional development release days, some Thursday evenings, some Saturdays and one required weekend field trip to be chosen by the participants at either the Museum of Tolerance in September or the Japanese-American Museum in December. A third field trip is being arranged and will be announced soon. The program will be a yearlong intensive experience designed to deepen content knowledge and pedagogical skills.
