Presidential Leadership in Times of Crisis

David Eisenhower, Co-Chair, FPRI History Institute for Teachers

On October 15-16, 2005, the Foreign Policy Research Institute’s Marvin Wachman Fund for International Education held its 14th History Institute for Teachers, focusing on “Teaching 9/11 and the War on Terrorism.” Specially designed for secondary school teachers and curriculum supervisors, the program featured a series of lectures by leading scholars, including several from FPRI’s Center on Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism, and Homeland Security. Forty-two teachers from 15 states attended the weekend conference.

The History Institute is supported by a grant from The Annenberg Foundation.
