History in the Heartland brings together American history teachers from 53 Ohio school districts in partnership with the Ohio State University's four regional campuses and the Ohio Historical Society.

New and Noteworthy

By involving teachers in a project designed to increase content knowledge, understanding and appreciation of traditional American history through an intensive, ongoing professional development program, History in the Heartland will improve American history instruction in twelve Ohio counties.

Ultimately, we expect to inspire greater student interest in the subject and contribute to greater student achievement both in American history courses and the mandatory state achievement tests.
