DESCRIPTORS Adolescents; Curriculum; *Curriculum Development; Females; Instructional Materials; Learning Modules; Material Development; Professional Training; *Secondary Education; Sex Bias; Training; *United States History; *Womens Studies IDENTIFIERS *Alaska; *Womens History ABSTRACT This module arose in part from a state law which prohibits sex discrimination in public school education. Its purpose is to increase awareness and knowledge of women's contributions to U.S. history. The module was developed so that secondary school personnel could readily adapt its information for secondary grade students. It reviews lessons plans developed by classroom teachers and encourages that these plans be adapted for use by teachersin their individual classes. The module states seven learning objectives:(1) Participants will become acquainted with each other and with the trainer;(2) Participants will be exposed to six American women who have played important roles in our political process;(3) Participants will try to identify 48 notable Americans by matching a person's name to bibliographic information;(4) Participants will become familiar with the breadth and depth of women's participation in American history;(5) Participants will be given resource material on women in America and interesting eventsin Women's history;(6) Participants will have an opportunity to view women in history lesson plans, developtheir own lesson plans, and share newly written plans; and (7) Participants will begiven an opportunity to evaluate the workshop. It is hoped that the module will help correct sexual bias in instructional materials.(RJM) *********************************************************************** * Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. *********************************************************************** y,/44.7,";,,, fi Women in American Histor,9 7-12 A TRAINING MODULE Developed by Alaska Department of Education Office of Curriculum Services Funded by Title IV Sex Desegregation Technical Assistance Grai.: 1 eoucation THEALASKA PROJECT U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION C:30 Office of Educational Research and improvement "PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE THIS EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION MATERIAL HAS BEEN GRANTED BY Cr% CENTER (ERIC, 0 This document has been rePrediced as K. g. cie4AIE In received from the person or organization CM originating it 0 Minor changes have been made to improve 0 reproduction qualify Points of view or opinions slated in this docu- BESI COPY AVAILABLE LI ment do not necessarily represent official TO THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES OE RI position or policy INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC)." ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The development of the Women in American History (7-12) equity module has been a collaborative effort requiring the cooperation of Anchorage School District personnel and the Alaska State Department of Education. Those who worked on the development of this module are: Jeanmarie Crumb Special Assistant to the Superintendent Community Relations Anchorage School District Carole Green Chapter 18 Coordinator Alaska State Department of Education Anita Robinson Human Relations S3ecialist Community Relations Department Anchorage School District Jan McCrimmon Module Writer Staff Development Coordinator Charter North Hospital Susan Remick Graphic Artist Anchorage School District Sharon Jaeger Secretary Community Relations Department Anchorage School District October, 1987 - J INTRODUCTION TO THE MODULE SERIES Alaska's sex equity law, which prohibits sexdiscrimination in public school education, was passed by the AlaskaLegislature in 1981. The law has been cited as one of the strongest state sexdiscrimination laws in the nation. This is in part due to the fact that theregulations require school districts to establish written procedures: personnel in the 1. for the biennial training of certificated recognition of sex bias in instructionalmaterials and in instructional techniques which may be usedto overcome the effects of sex bias; and counseling staff in the 2. for the biennial training of guidance recognition of bias in counselingmaterials and in techniques which may be used to overcome theeffects of sex bias; instructional materials for evidence 3. for the review of textbooks and of sex bias; and of materials found to exhibit 4. for the replacement or supplementation bias. Since the implementation of theseregulations, referred to as Chapter 18, many school districts have relied on theDepartment of Education to provide them with on-site inservice training inthe area of sex discrimination. Recopizing that local school districtsneed their own cadre of equity trainers as well as materials, theDepartment of Education utilized TitleIV funds for the development of a seriesof equity modules. During the summer of 1986, educators within Alaska developedsix modules, relating directly to curriculum content areas, that are nowavailable to all Alaskan school in such a fashion than districts. The modules were developed and written district personnel with a minimal amountof experience could conduct an equity inservice. Modules which have been completed include: Women in American History (Elementary) Computer Equity (K-12) Women in American History (Secondary) Foreign Language Language Bias (K-12) Fine Arts (Elementary) Science (Elementary)) Mathematics (Elementary) The Department is continuing thedevelopment of modules in othercurriculum areas. The Department of Education iscommitted to helping school districtscomply with the regulations outlined in Chapter18. School district personnel using themodules are requested to complete the evaluation sheet and return it to theDepartment of Education. This information will be used to update andimprove the modules.

Somerset’s first inhabitants, however, were the native tribes of the lower Eastern Shore. Native American occupation of the region dates back thousands of years; its earliest inhabitants occupied a landscape far different than today with much lower sea levels. Spanning over fifteen to twenty thousand years, native American habitation matured from hunter-gathers to settled communities of tribes who resided along the region’s A characteristic Paleo-Indian fluted numerous waterways, many of which still carry their names.

Native American occupation is also represented by the thousands of artifacts that turn up in the soil, or through the written historical record as Anglo-American explorers, traders and ultimately settlers interacted with them across the peninsula. One of the earliest explorers to leave a written record of his visit, describing the local inhabitants as well as their activities was Giovanni da Verrazano, who, during the 1520s, traveled along what later became Somerset County.

Harrington; Phillips Lee Goldsborough. The County Seal was designed by Andrew Tolley and adopted by the County Commissioners in 1967. It depicts a waterman holding a pair of oyster tongs and a crab pot facing a farmer holding a cornstalk and pitchfork with the popular "bluecrab" at the top. The center shield is divided to show county interests, sailing, religious heritage, industry and shorelines. The background is a map of the County surrounded by blue water. On the small banner under the shield is written in Latin "Populus prope deum habitans" or "people living under the care of God". The gold banded border is imprinted with the County’s name and 1669, the year the County became a unit of government. Dorchester County Council District #1 Don B. Satterfield District #2 William V.
