Online Professional Development Workshop for Educators
This Election Day, join us online for a professional development workshop about our upcoming exhibition Belle da Costa Greene: A Librarian's Legacy. In this program, we will explore the fascinating story of Belle da Costa Greene, the Morgan's first Director. Greene was one of the most prominent librarians in American history. She was the daughter of Genevieve Ida Fleet Greener (1849–1941) and Richard T. Greener (1844–1922), the first Black graduate of Harvard College, and was at birth known by a different name: Belle Marion Greener. After her parents separated in the 1890s, her mother changed the family surname to Greene, Belle and her brother adopted variations of the middle name da Costa, and the family began to pass as white in a racist and segregated America. Museum educators will share standards-aligned lesson plans and participants will leave the session with practical strategies for incorporating exhibition content into classroom lessons to support and supplement the curriculum. This workshop is eligible for 2 CTLE credits. Participation is free but requires registration. This event will take place on Zoom.
