Jackie Robinson: Champion for Equality – A Two-Part Professional Development for Educators
Note: This is a two-part PD. Registrants will be automatically registered for a mandatory second PD session on Monday, May 5th at the Center for Brooklyn History from 4pm to 6pm. CTLE credit for both events will be issued at the end of the second session.
Join the Jackie Robinson Museum and BPL's Center for Brooklyn History for a special two-part professional learning opportunity that will introduce Jackie Robinson as an athlete, activist, citizen, businessman, and family man and explore Robinson’s legacy as a champion for equality, on and off the field.
During Session 1 at the Museum, join an interactive exhibition tour, learn about the program offerings, and try out student-facing activities that are part of the Museum’s popular field trip programs.
In Session 2 at the Center for Brooklyn History, educators will encounter Jackie Robinson-related artifacts in the Othmer Library reading room, acquire practical teaching techniques, and practice hands-on primary source work.
Light refreshments will be provided at each session. Participating educators will be eligible for 4 CTLE credits.
