Sharpen your pencils! It’s a new school year and the Museum’s Education Team is thrilled to share a number of new resources for educators, students, and families.  

FIELD TRIPS

We hope your first stop will be to book a visit to the Museum! Our signature field trip Jackie’s Legacy, Your Leadership (Grades 2-12) invites students to explore Jackie Robinson’s core leadership traits and how he used them at key moments in his life, on and off the field. New for this school year is Jackie Robinson Explorers (Grades 1-6), which helps students hone their inquiry and observation skills as they piece together Robinson’s actions as an athlete, activist, family man and more. If you already have plans or don’t see your date on the calendar, book a self-guided visit instead.

Now booking for the fall with additional spots opening on a rolling basis.

NEW TIMELINE AND LEARNING GUIDE

Field trips are just the beginning! We have also revamped our popular Timeline and Learning Guide Booklet to showcase one-of-a-kind artifacts from the Museum, embedded discussion questions to prompt critical thinking, and the same rich depth of content on Jackie Robinson’s life and legacy. We think you’re going to love it. View it online or complete this form to request a set for your classroom.

ONLINE RESOURCES

Along with the print booklets, we have launched new resources on our website for educators, students and families. Classroom materials including videos, games, and more have a new home on the Educator Resources page, perfect for prep before your Museum visit or to complement your in-class instruction. Students and families, start your exploration (or that Jackie Robinson research project) with the Student FAQs and video content on the Student and Family Resources page.
