Online Education
Revolutionize your classroom with National History Day®!
National History Day has a full range of online graduate courses for middle and high school educators who want to implement our project-based curriculum into their classrooms using the framework of the National History Day Contest.
All National History Day courses provide practical advice as well as pedagogical strategies.
Along with creating classroom-ready materials customized to the needs of their students, participants also have the options of earning a certificate of professional development hours or (for an additional cost) graduate credit from the University of San Diego.
Due to low enrollment, NHD will not be offering these two courses in fall 2021. Our apologies for any inconvenience. Check back for future opportunities.
