Below is the latest posting to H-Historyday, a discussion list in the H-Net series (feel free to contact me for more information on H-net and how to subscribe). NHD Minnesota is an important model. Have a look.
NHD in Minnesota has a Master Teacher Network that highlights several sample teacher materials, like contracts, that are intended to be shared. Many of these documents are posted using Word so that they can be edited for classroom use. You will find these classroom tools as http://www.mnhs.org/school/historyday/masterteacher/index.htm.
