Curriculum support

The goal of the Curriculum Subcommittee is to help in the development and dissemination of materials about Sojourner Truth to local school teachers.

• The subcommittee developed  sample lesson plans for 3-4 grade teachers based on the book “Only Passing Through” by Anne Rockwell.  The sample lessons, along with a copy of the book and audio tape and CD reading of the book were donated to 10 local elementary schools
• In 2006-07 the subcommittee cooperated with the Deerfield Teacher’s Center  in developing a high school unit:  “Sojourner’s Third Life Chapter: Finding Other Truths at the Northampton Association for Education and Industry”.  This teacher workshop is  ongoing in the teacher training development of the Deerfield Teacher’s Center:  http://deerfield.history.museum/dtc/index.htm
• In 2009-10, a play about Sojourner was developed in collaboration with Enchanted Circle Theater.
