Twain Museum Lesson Plans Appeal to Thousands

To be specific, the Mark Twain Museum in Hannibal has tallied over 18,000 downloads of lesson plans from its web site. Many of the lesson plans were created in teachers' institutes that we supported. There is visionary thinking behind the museum's cultivation of teachers. The Museum realized that it depends on a national population that loves the stories of Mark Twain. So it has moved powerfully in a direction that stimulates great teaching! Look at the ways the museum encourages teachers...there is even an annual cash prize for "Creative Teaching." The deadline for submitting an application for that prize is March 15.
