The summer HERITAGE TRAVEL PROGRAM is a one-week traveling seminar designed to immerse teachers in a different aspect of the Texas experience each year.
The HISTORY AWARENESS WORKSHOP, presented by request to educational entities within Texas, focuses on practical knowledge, insight into teaching strategies, and practical classroom applications.
Among the TSHA AWARDS
of interest to educators are the Mary Jon and J. P. Bryan Leadership in Education Award, which honors outstanding history teachers, and the David C. DeBoe Memorial Awards, which
recognize a Junior Historian sponsor, a Texas History Day teacher, and a Webb Society sponsor.
In the JUNIOR HISTORIANS program, teachers guide students in grades four through twelve through yearlong research projects and activities to heighten their interest and deepen their knowledge of history.
TEXAS HISTORY DAY, part of the National History Day program, is an annual competition in which students demonstrate their knowledge of history through papers, interpretive web sites, performances,
documentary presentations, or exhibits.
The WALTER PRESCOTT WEBB HISTORICAL SOCIETY, which meets twice a year, encourages college students to research, write, and publish the history of Texas.
STUDENT PUBLICATIONS sponsored by the TSHA include the Texas Historian and Roadrunner; the journal and newsletter of the Junior Historians program; and Touchstone and the Telegraph and Texas Register, the journal and newsletter of the Webb Society.

Through the TSHA's TEXAS HISTORY QUIZZES and the new TEXAS QUIZ SHOW, teachers can encourage students to research different aspects of Texas history in a fun and rewarding way, using the Handbook of Texas Online as a basis for research.
