  • Understanding What Teachers Gain from Professional Development at Historic Sites Christine Baron Sherri Sklarwitz Hyeyoung Bang Hanadi Shatara Elementary School Teachers Middle School Teachers High School Teachers United States History Social Studies Media Specialists American Studies Professional Development Historic Sites Institutes (Training Programs) Program Evaluation Place Based Education Despite decades of formal work with teachers, little is known about what they gain from professional development at and with historic sites. This article presents the first data-set from a 3-year Institute for Museum and Library Services National Leadership Grant project designed to develop a broad-based assessment for understanding what teachers learn in historic site-based professional development. The centerpiece of this project is an assessment tool based in Q methodology. This round of study focuses on the pre-post Q sorts and interviews of 29 teachers in a history-focused institute regarding how they see their work at historic sites affecting their professional development. Contrary to advocates' assertions, results indicate that only a small number of participants specifically set out to seek historical disciplinary expertise and analysis, while greater emphasis was placed on working with content-area peers, developing pedagogical practices, and the power of place.
