Founded in 1988, the Rutgers Institute for High School Teachers represents a collaboration between New Jersey's secondary teachers and the faculty of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Each year we offer new and varied seminars focusing on classroom usable topics in the social sciences and humanities. Participants explore the use of primary documents and teaching aids (such as videos, images, and electronic resources) as well as the latest scholarship. We help educators meet state-mandated teaching standards and provide certificates for professional development credit. It has been a privilege to partner with New Jersey's teachers for the past 33 years. Thank you to all past participants and welcome to new ones! View our current schedule.
