The Underground Railroad Teaching Partnership of Long Island's Mission is to promote interdisciplinary research, teaching and community outreach grounded in the study of the Underground Railroad on Long island.
Quality classrooms evolve around powerful knowledge that works for each student. Students need to be equipped with ideas and skills necessary to make their way in the world.
Therefore, teacher workshops are designed to assist teachers in incorporating historical information into their classroom curriculum through the use of interest based instruction, responsive environments, and strategies that allow for learner variance.
More information on our workshops and lectures can be found here.
