Alabama History Institutes are immersive professional development workshops in history and civics for K-12 public, private, and homeschool educators. Each three-day, in-person workshop will incorporate intensive classroom training using primary sources with hands-on experiences at local museums, parks, and historic sites. Participants receive a stipend and professional development credits.

Applications for Summer 2024 workshops are closed. The ADAH will begin accepting applicants for 2025 workshops early next year.
