This workshop will coincide with our Beyond the Pages Program which is aimed at both supporting literacy development and making the history of the Medal of Honor, the stories of MOH Recipients, and the six character values (courage, sacrifice, patriotism, commitment, integrity, and citizenship) associated with the Medal more accessible to little ones. You’ll learn about the heroic deeds and noble character of those who have received our nation’s highest military award for valor—the Medal of Honor— along our gallery timeline. Our 2024 Teacher Fellows have crafted a FREE classroom resource bundle to compliment our children’s book—The Making of a Hero—and you’ll participate in several of the accompanying activities.

This workshop will include a gallery tour and highlight FREE lesson activities covering multiple middle and high school state standards and crafted by our 2024 Teacher Fellows. Our Teacher Fellows will facilitate multiple sessions centered on the Civil through the Vietnam War. These sessions will uniquely weave in the stories of Medal of Honor Recipients and the character values associated with the Medal—courage, commitment, sacrifice, integrity, patriotism, and citizenship.
