2025 Charles M. Hewitt Master Teacher Competition sponsored by McGraw Hill

The competition showcases the best classroom teaching, particularly the incorporation of new or evolving course subject matter, cultural contexts, pedagogy, and technology. The goal is deeper engagement of students in the learning process and of faculty in their guild.

Providence Crime & Cuisine Tour

The Federal Hill neighborhood of Providence is one of its hottest destinations, home to some of the best Italian food in the world. This add-on tour will give you a smorgasbord of its best bites and drinks, from fine wines to pasta imported directly from the Old Country. Come hungry! Every guest will also get a memento from their time on the Hill to take home with them. Spoiler alert: it’s delicious! 

The Hill was also home to some historic characters who dabbled on the wrong side of the law. Follow the intrigue of State v. Patriarca, when a future mayor took on a mob boss; learn about the corruption which brought Rhode Island’s banking system to its knees in the ’90s, and about a raid on an illegal dice game that sent a Providence Police Officer through a second-story window. This add-on tour is available to up to 20 participants and is $65 a person. If more people are interested, we will add you to the waitlist and see if we can add additional tours.
