Teachers, members of the press, and any interested parties are encouraged to attend!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The new modules are made possible through a $10,000 grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities and web hosting and support from the Phillip\u2019s Memorial Library at Providence College.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

EnCompass was first launched in 2016 thanks to a previous award from RICH for preliminary research and teacher focus groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The award has provided funding for scholarly essays, student research and writing, partnership with the Tomaquag Museum, and teacher evaluation.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

All modules are aligned with Rhode Island Grade Span Expectations for Social Studies and feature images of primary source documents and objects from the RIHS collections.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

These modules provide teachers with free resources, content, and activities for their classrooms.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The new modules that we will be announcing include Rhode Island, Slavery, and the Slave Trade; African American Civil Rights in Rhode Island; Narragansett History; The Struggle for Woman Suffrage in Rhode Island and more.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe topics for the new modules were selected through teacher focus groups, and we are thankful for the hard work\u00a0of the authors and the teams at RIHS and Providence\u00a0College whose hard work made this possible.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are thrilled to be able to add these robust topics to EnCompass \u2013 a resource for the teachers and students of Rhode Island and beyond.\u201d\u00a0 \u2013 \u00a0Geralyn Ducady\u00a0.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
