Colloquium Model
The Montana Council for History and Civics Education (MCHCE) is dedicated to providing K-12 inservice and preservice teachers with quality professional development. Our professional development programs come from the National Council for History Education's colloquium model, whose three-pronged approach to professional development helps teachers learn content, effective pedagogy, and appropriate curriculum alignment. Many sessions include work between all grade levels to create a dialogue for how history is taught over the school years, while also including separate grade-level work sessions to allow teachers to discuss ways of integrating content to the grade levels they teach. Professional Development programs are custom-tailored to district needs and provide teachers with resources, classroom materials, and books relevant to the era being studied.
