COLLEGE PARK, MD – March 30, 2026 – To commemorate the 250^t anniversary of the Declaration of Independence this year, National History Day® (NHD) is proud to announce the educators selected for its new webinar series, Idee rewolucyjne: zrozumienie 250 lat amerykańskich zasad. Developed in partnership with the Amerykańskie Stowarzyszenie Historyczne and funded by a generous grant through the U.S. Department of Education, this series will explore revolutionary ideals and their evolution across U.S. history.

Each module will include primary and secondary source readings, one academic task, one pedagogical application, and a live webinar with a leading historian.

“We are excited to launch the Revolutionary Ideals Webinar Series and provide educators with resources to improve the teaching and learning of history,” said National History Day Executive Director Dr. Cathy Gorn. “With the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaching, now is a great time to explore the history of our revolutionary principles and their impact over time.”

• April / May 2026: American Foundational Principles Z dr. Brendanem Gillisem, dyrektorem ds. nauczania i uczenia się w Amerykańskim Stowarzyszeniu Historycznym.

• July / August 2026: Confederation to Constitution Z dr. Christopherem Pearlem, profesorem historii i kierownikiem katedry w Lycoming College. Dr Pearl przeanalizuje polityczne zawirowania lat 80. XVIII wieku, które uwypukliły potrzebę nowego systemu federalnego.

• November / December 2026: The Reconstruction Amendments z dr Justine Hill Edwards, profesor historii na Uniwersytecie Wirginii. Dr Hill Edwards wykorzysta Freedman's Bank do zbadania znaczenia poprawek do Konstytucji Stanów Zjednoczonych na styku praw politycznych i ekonomicznych w połowie i pod koniec XIX wieku.
• January / February 2027: The 26^t Poprawka z dr. Kyle’em Longleyem, dyrektorem ds. wojny, dyplomacji i społeczeństwa oraz profesorem historii na Uniwersytecie Chapmana.
