For Educators

Our Approach

Place-based education (PBE) immerses students in local communities and leverages local history, geography, cultures, and experiences to engage students in the learning process.

The Medal of Honor is our nation’s highest military honor for valor, and through the powerful stories of these ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary things, history is brought to life along the MOHHC’s gallery timeline. Many educators, however, are unaware of this history and the educational programs offered at our facility.

Our Teacher Fellowship Program simply would not exist without the generosity of the Fields and Bell families who were instrumental in ensuring the program launched in 2023. Their gifts were made in honor of the late Katie Fields Bell, and the Katie Fields Bell Fellow Award is awarded to an outstanding Teacher Fellow each year.
