This three-week summer institute for high school teachers, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, will be held at the Meeter Center at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI. The institute will enable high school instructors from across the country to engage with the best and most accessible scholarship on the sixteenth-century Reformation and to develop teaching materials that help their students make sense of this important movement and its social, political, and religious ramifications. The three key topics addressed in the institute will be belief systems as expressed by the Reformation’s different confessional groups (Catholic, Lutheran, Anabaptist, and Reformed); practices (worship, church discipline, and instruction); and conflicts and resolutions (between civil and religious powers, between different branches of the Christian church, or within confessional groups). Participants will interact with each other and with experts in the field and will build portfolios of aural, visual, and written primary sources to stimulate class discussion and enrich their students’ understanding of the Reformation era’s significance. Successful applicants will receive a $2,600 stipend and can receive either CEUs or graduate workshop credits (for a fee) upon completion of the institute. For more information and application instructions, contact the project director Dr Karin Maag, Director, H. Henry Meeter Center (kmaag@calvin.edu) or go to
