Learning Pathway: Influential Women and Women's History/Herstory

In this Influential Women Learning Pathway, you will find four digital choice boards: Women's History Month; Influential Women in History; U.S. Women and the Wars; and Women Discoverers in STEM. There are also links to learning activities in the Building Democracy for All eBook that focus directly on women's roles and experiences in government and society.

Building Democracy For All is designed so that teachers and students can follow different learning pathways as they explore the material in the book. Rather than proceeding sequentially through curriculum standards, the learning pathways invite a thematic approach. Other learning pathways include: Black Lives Matter, Student Rights, Election 2020, Media Literacy, and Current Events.
