AT&T, with assistance from the South Carolina Department of Education, is pleased to provide samples of activities and projects for educators that will involve, entertain, and inform students of the contributions of South Carolina African Americans. While by no means comprehensive, these resources will hopefully assist you in your critically important role for the future of our state: teaching our children.
We have created a grid that arranges the attributes and accomplishments of the 2009 honorees in relation to the current curriculum standards. Each “X” hyperlinks to activities based on the mandate of the Educational Improvement Act for English-language arts, math, science, social studies and fine arts curricula.
