Evaluation Plan
Evaluation procedures for CEH programs are well established. Participating teachers will be asked to complete short questionnaires after each session throughout the institute. On the final day, a session will be reserved for a formal evaluation with the participants. CEH will also review the institute with a follow-up questionnaire mailed to participants six months after the institute.

History of CEH Teacher Institutes
Since 1984 CEH has worked to enhance K-12 humanities education in Colorado by developing humanities institutes for teachers. Our experience with a variety of formats and the responses from humanities faculty and participants have convinced us of the value of content-based, interdisciplinary forums that bring together contemporary scholarship of the academy and challenges of the classroom. CEH has gained a reputation for developing and implementing humanities institutes for teachers, discussions on education policy, the traveling history trunk program for Colorado's schools, and the Governor's Awards for Excellence in Education.
