Opened in 1995, the museum documents the entire history of rock & roll in addition to those performers that have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.  Not only does their permanent collection contain thousands of one-of-a-kind items–ranging from musical instruments and song lyrics to quirky stage props and colorful costumes–but they’re also always borrowing cool memorabilia and artifacts from artists and collectors for their ongoing and temporary exhibits.  Permanent exhibits include the Power of Rock Experience, Legends of Rock, the British Invasion, Rapper’s Delight Retrospective, Cities and Sounds, Kick Out the Jams, Backstage Stories, Elvis Exhibit, and the Right Here, Right Now exhibit.  Attendees will be able to experience the entire museum, the Museum Store, and enjoy hors d’oeuvres with a cash bar.

NCHE Call for Proposals
History at the Crossroads
March 7-9, 2024

History educators work at the juncture of past and future, building the historical skills and knowledge that will equip young people to engage fully in the world they inherit. History teachers also work at the nexus of education, policy, and politics, a crossroads that has become increasingly challenging since 2020. At the same time, history education offers the promise of meeting the challenges of our times with informed historical practice and responsive pedagogies. By cultivating History’s Habits of Mind, teachers can support students’ understanding of the historical roots that shape their lives. Together, the content and skills taught in history classrooms prepare students to engage constructively with the challenges of the future.

NCHE invites proposals for its 2024 conference in Cleveland that explore the multifocal ways that history educators can leverage the power of history at the crossroads in their own classrooms. Proposals may explore one or more of the following themes.

  • Power and representation
  • Individualism and the common good
  • Free speech and digital media
  • Absent narratives and underrepresented histories
  • History as a foundation for civic education
  • The role of history in a time of public debate
  • Innovating with technology in history classrooms

Sessions may focus on local, regional, national, or world history for elementary, middle, high school, and college classrooms. NCHE encourages submissions that offer rich historical content, innovative pedagogical strategies, and that foster inquiry and critical thinking.

Breakout Session:  These teacher workshops are typically interactive “how to” sessions designed for the K-12 educator and are 50 minutes in length.

Mini Session: Mini Session topics range from teaching ideas to research reports. Presenters have 15 minutes to present information and answer questions. Each mini session typically includes three separate 15-minute presentations in the same room within a 50-minute time period.

Poster Session: Poster Session topics range from teaching ideas to research reports. Poster presenters display their information visually (ex. poster/display board) and interact with interested attendees during the 30-minute session. Presenters remain with their posters. The poster session period may include 8-15 simultaneous presenters.
