The 2025 Anthropology Teacher Workshop will be a one-day program learning about New Netherland held in person at the New York State Museum on Friday, March 14, 2025. Anthropology is a science that reaches into many disciplines making it particularly useful for teaching many subject areas.
The workshop is presented by PhD-level State Museum scientists, including State Archaeologist and Co-Director of the Cultural Resource Survey Program Christina Rieth, Curator of Historic Archaeology Michael Lucas, Co-Director of Cultural Resource Survey Program Daria Merwin, New Netherland Research Center Director Charles Gehring and Associate Director Chelsea Teale, Bureau of Historic Sites Interpreter of African American History Lavada Nahon, and James Bradley.
Teachers will have the opportunity to earn six CTLE clock hours by completing the workshop. They will gain valuable insight into the forefront of scientific research happening right here in New York State. The workshop is aligned with the NYS P-12 Science Learning Standards.
