The 3rd grade unit, piloted in the spring of 2008, includes five lessons that introduce students to community-building principles: people make choices, people make changes that affect how people live and work now and in the future; each person’s choice can make a difference.
The lessons will be introduced to Chicago Public School teachers through professional development workshops scheduled for March 27, 2009 at The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago History Museum, Chicago Architecture Foundation, Jane Addams Hull House Museum and the National Museum of Mexican Art.
The program has been made possible by generous support of the Polk Bros. Foundation.
