In addition to student field trips to the Gaylord-Pickens Museum, the annual Heritage week competition, annual award competitions for Oklahoma teachers and scholarships for students around Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Heritage Association is a partner in two statewide professional development projects providing workshops for educators in our state.
The Oklahoma Heritage Association is a leading partner in the statewide "Celebrate Oklahoma Voices" (COV) professional development initiative. More information about COV including a complete list of current project partners is available. An online learning community including hundreds of teacher and student-created videos about Oklahoma history, heritage and our people is available at lc.celebrateoklahoma.us.
The Oklahoma Heritage Association is also a partner in the 2008-2009 Oklahoma "Teaching Inquiry Through Primary Sources" professional development project. This initiative also involves the Library of Congress, the Oklahoma State Department of Education and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries.
