Hillsdale College Hosts Center for Teacher Excellence in Jacksonville, Florida
College professors speak on “The American Regime and the Administrative State”
HILLSDALE, Mich. — Hillsdale College’s K-12 Education Office hosted the Charles R. and Kathleen K. Hoogland Center for Teacher Excellence (CTE) to expand the reach of Hillsdale College’s message of classical curricula and subject mastery to a nationwide audience of teachers. Seminars were open to all middle and high-school teachers on April 22, at the Southbank Hotel Jacksonville Riverwalk.
“We are thrilled to strengthen and equip teachers in their efforts to educate students on the principles of American government,” said Kathleen O’Toole, assistant provost for K-12 Education.
Joseph Postell and Kevin Portteus, associate professors of politics at Hillsdale College, led lectures and discussions, addressing the principles underlying the U.S. Constitution, the rise of the administrative state, and the principle of separation of powers in modern America.
Civic Education Specialist Jordan Adams spoke on “Best Practices of History Instruction.”
“I was glad to share the principles of classical education, particularly as they pertain to history instruction, with teachers from around the United States,” Adams said.
Participants received supplemental books, a pocket Constitution, a certificate of attendance, and a complimentary continental breakfast and lunch. The seminar was free of charge.
More than 3,600 teachers from 42 states have participated in more than 70 past CTE seminars.
