Introducing a FREE Texas History CPE Course
The San Antonio Living History Association has developed this first TEA-approved CPE course for Texas history educators. Titled Tejano Contributions to the Texas Revolution: San Antonio's Role in Shaping History through Living History and Material Culture, this SALHA educational pilot project has been made possible by support from the Educational Grants Program of the San Antonio Conservation Society Foundation.
This initial CPE course presentation is being offered free to Texas history teachers who register for the October 30th and November 15th, 2025, course sessions of SALHA's first CPE Tejano course.
