TALES OUT OF SCHOOL

Tales Out of School, a newsletter geared toward teachers of Kansas history, is published twice a year and is available free of charge to interested persons. A variety of subjects related to teaching Kansas history appear in Tales. Each issue emphasizes a topic, teaching technique, or activity. Readers are encouraged to submit items to the newsletter that they believe will be useful to fellow teachers, because we can improve the teaching of Kansas history by sharing information. A selection of past issues of Tales are available on the Internet. The topics available are listed below.
