- Abstract
This article presents information related to the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center's teacher institutes. Since 2001 the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center has conducted four intensive, five-day, summer institutes for Connecticut middle and high school History and English teachers. Each of the institutes was based on a topic inspired by the Stowe Center's institutional mission and world-class collection. Focusing on a different topic each summer, from slavery to women's activism, the institutes have been designed to provide teachers with a professional development experience that adds significantly to their content knowledge and pedagogical skills. The Harriet Beecher Stowe Center is a vibrant museum, research library and program center in Hartford, Connecticut. In three historic buildings, the Stowe Center introduces visitors to the 19th century woman whose voice changed the world by addressing major social and political inequities.
