An innovative and unique teacher workshop designed to encourage up to fifteen Maryland elementary- and middle-school educators (non-Latin teachers) to weave Latin and Classical Studies into their curricula. This workshop will demonstrate how Latin and Classical Studies can easily be integrated into the classroom setting, particularly in response to the Maryland State Curriculum and Core Learning Goals. The workshop will provide an opportunity for educators to learn about Latin, ancient Roman culture, and effective methods for incorporating these topics into their classrooms. It will also demonstrate to the participants that the study of Latin supports students' study of English vocabulary and grammar, other world languages, and their knowledge of the roots of Western civilization.
