Curriculum Units Created by 2012 TIP Fellows Are Now Available

The 2012 TIP program year ended with 31 teachers completing attendance in our American Racial Politics, “But Mostly I Lie A Lot” – The African-American Short Story in the 21^st Century, and Human Health and Disease seminars. Fellows developed curriculum units based on seminar content, guidance from Seminar Leaders, discussion with fellow participants, and independent research, and will implement them in their classrooms. The units are now available for viewing and reference in TIP’s archive. Fellows are awarded a stipend and receive Act 48 credits after successful completion of the program requirements. Congratulations and many thanks to our TIP teachers for their extraordinary work and efforts to enhance their content mastery as they create innovative and engaging curriculum units for their students.
