Local Historical Documents Reviewed

Ellen Santora, assistant professor, teaching and curriculum, along with Michael Jarvis, assistant professor, history, organized a one-day professional development workshop for teachers at the Susan B. Anthony House March 1. Two dozen teachers from city and suburban schools reviewed and discussed original documents written by those who forged the women's suffrage movement, and brainstormed how to used such sources to invigorate the teaching of history.

The event was part of the "American History as Dialogue" project, funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Teaching American History Grant Program.
