What is the Living History Education Foundation?
Founder and President of the Living History Education Foundation, Joe Ryan, a Buchanan, NY resident, has been bringing history to life for more than 40 years. What started with a dozen students carrying muskets at Blue Mountain Middle School in the Hendrick Hudson School District has become a statewide program of students and teachers learning U.S. history by living it.
The program continued to grow when former Gov. Pataki asked Ryan to take his program across the state. When Ryan retired from the school district, a group of parents formed a living history education foundation. Ryan describes the combination of donations, events and grants that have created a not-for-profit which brings courses to some 1,600 teachers and provides supplies for schools around the state.

Attention Teachers!
Are you sick of flip charts, boring lectures, and stuffy classrooms? Are you tired of "2 by 4 teaching" (2 covers of a book and 4 walls of a classroom)? Then take to the field with the Living History Education Foundation's master teachers and enjoy courses that literally "come alive." As an added bonus, you will have all expenses paid for by the Living History Education Foundation (motels, meals, site fees, etc.). Experience morale boosting courses and gain knowledge and expertise which you can use with your students immediately. The only cost to you is the graduate or in-service fee. Isn't it about time you had fun in your education career?
