EDUCATION Ashland teacher earns WWII study fellowship Huard is one of only 28 in the nation selected by the National World War II Museum Comment By Local report DailyTidings.com By Local report Posted Mar. 22, 2016 at 6:49 PM By Local report Posted Mar. 22, 2016 at 6:49 PM » Social News An Ashland High School social studies instructor is among teachers chosen nationally to study World War II and develop better methods of teaching about the war in the classroom. Paul R. Huard is one of the winners of a fellowship that will support his involvement in a teacher’s institute sponsored by the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. More than 250 teachers applied for the institute. The museum selected 28 educators for the program, which is in its first year. Beginning in July, Huard will attend a summer workshop at the museum to study content knowledge, instructional techniques and creative and engaging curriculum materials needed to teach World War II history. While there, he will also study with historian and author Richard B. Frank, whose books include "Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire" and "Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Campaign." He will continue to study on-line with museum staff and scholars through the summer. During the course of the next school year he will also develop a continuing education opportunity for fellow teachers, create lesson plans that will be distributed by the museum, and prepare for additional travel to important World War II historical sites in Europe during the summer of 2017. In addition, he will have an opportunity in 2017 to present at the museum’s annual International Conference on World War II and to serve as an advisor to new program participants. Huard receives complete financial support for his involvement from the museum. A former newspaper reporter who covered politics and government for daily newspapers in California and Oregon, Huard began teaching at Ashland High School in 2004. He is also the author of more than 80 articles on military history and contemporary military affairs, including articles about World War II, Russian military history, and covert operations during the World War II. His work has appeared online and in print at War Is Boring, We Are The Mighty, The World Magazine, The National Interest, Russia Insider, RealClearPolitics, and RealClearHistory. Huard also writes a monthly column about public education for the Ashland Daily Tidings.
