Join Ariana Moir, Education Program Manager at The ILC Public Education Institute, for “The American Story: 250 Years of Revolution and Resilience,” a session at the MCSS Spring 2026 Statewide Conference in Old Sturbridge Village, Sturbridge, MA on March 13, 2026.
How did immigrants shape the founding of the nation? Learn about free, classroom-ready resources that leverage primary sources to help grade 5-12 students connect past to present and consider their place in history as it continues.
This theme is especially relevant for 2026, which marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It offers a chance to explore the full scope of American history, from its founding to the present day.
Registration is now open for the conference. We hope to see you there.
Immigrants & America 250 is a curated collection of lessons, videos, articles and more for teachers and educators who want to tie in the history and legacy of immigration in the early days of the United States with America’s 250th birthday celebrations.
