Teachers to Participate in PHLF Professional Education Course

A group of 14 teachers will participate in a fast-paced three-hour class, “Getting Real: Connecting Classroom Curricula to Your Community and City,” offered by PHLF on May 2. Teachers will ride the Monongahela Incline to view the city (and discuss its history and architecture); see a sampling of resources available from PHLF; and identify how they can use the built environment to enrich their classroom curriculum. Louise Sturgess, executive director of PHLF, is the course instructor; the course is offered through the Allegheny Intermediate Unit.

To register for PHLF’s three-credit summer course (June 21-30), “Community Connections: Pittsburgh Architecture and Resiliency Wellness,” please contact the Allegheny Intermediate Unit. For more details about the seven-day professional development course, contact Karen Cahall, PHLF’s education coordinator (412-471-5808, ext. 537).
