Teacher Feature Overview
Celebrate women every month in the classroom!
Recognizing women's achievements is important because, according to the National Women's History Project, [h]istory must tell the whole story. For girls, knowing women's achievements expands their sense of what is possible. For all of us, knowledge of women's strengths and contributions builds respect and nourishes self esteem—crucial to all children and adults now, and in the years to come. Educators are willing, often eager, to introduce women's history. But they lack materials and support. Only three percent of educational materials focus on women's contributions. Yet recently legislatures in three states—Illinois, Florida, and Louisiana—mandated teaching women's history in their K-12 classes.
Use this page to help incorporate women's history in your lessons and during Women's History Month. Make women's history come alive to your students, visit the Museum or schedule an outreach program today.
