Calling all K-12 Educators!
The National Women’s History Museum is recruiting K-12 educators to participate in its summer “For Educators, By Educators” Curriculum Resources Development Program to create K-12 lesson plans and other classroom resources for inclusion in the Museum’s online compendium of digital learning materials that enliven teaching, enrich curriculum connections, raise understanding and appreciation, and harness key themes of equality and activism that are the foundation of women’s impacts on our national history and that still impact our society and national dialogue today. |
This year, in accordance with feedback the NWHM Education Team has received from teachers who participated in the 2021 NWHM Summer Educators Institute, as well as survey data compiled by fellow museum education peers at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Education Department, the Museum is seeking submissions that take into consideration the following needs:
Suggested themes and topics as identified by SEI participants include:
Resources will adhere to the C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards and should be organized around one of the Museum’s four predominant themes of Expanding Roles, Defying Expectations, Breaking Barriers, and Creating Momentum for Change. Guidelines and a suggested outline are provided.
Honorarium: $300 per lesson plan, resource (timeline, writing/research exercise, online exhibit), or biography (no more than 2 per an author, please); author credit on website.
Submissions due by end of day on August 7, 2022 in order to be included in the 2022-2023 academic year online resources and featured in the Museum’s e-newsletter for educator audiences, Education: News and Resources.
