The Center for History Education (CHE) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County seeks to strengthen and invigorate the teaching of history in Maryland schools through innovative professional development programs and resources for elementary, middle and high school educators.

Our summer institutes and in-service workshops assist K–12 educators to enrich their history instruction. The graduate courses in U.S. and World History education incorporate rigorous content, proven teaching methods, technology integration and research experiences. In working with teams of master teachers, historians and other history professionals, participants increase their own content knowledge and develop new instructional materials for their students. All content is aligned with the Maryland State Performance Assessment Program outcomes, Core Learning Goals, and state history standards of the Maryland State Department of Education.
