There are various levels of participation. For example, teachers implement the NHD program as:
竞争是 不是要求. NHD 在马萨诸塞州 believes that the NHD deep dive into historical research 和 inquiry, 解释, 和 creative expression is an achievement all on its own. If students want to compete—go for it! But students or teachers can also choose for their program to culminate in a showcase or school display. We want students to know that competition does not correlate to success.
Judging for NHD is a great way to see the program in action 和 to learn from a group of incredible student historians! If you're interested in seeing NHD in action, fill out our 法官兴趣表格 to learn more about judging 和 be notified when registration opens in 2024. All educators receive 10 PDPs for judging at our regional or state NHD competitions. 同时，请访问我们的 NHD MA评委 page to learn more about the role of judges in NHD!
