Lesson Objectives

  • Miracle Worker: Some teachers go above and beyond! Anne Sullivan was only 20 years old when she began teaching Helen Keller, who was blind and deaf. Sullivan stayed by her side for 49 years, helping her develop special ways to communicate, like spelling out words on her palms!
  • Teacher First: Eleanor Roosevelt advocated for girls’ education by founding a finishing school called the Todhunter School for Girls, where she encouraged independent thinking through literature and history. Her kind actions helped many people throughout her husband’s presidency, and later, she served as Chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights for the United Nations!

Follow-up Discussion

There are so many wonderful teachers to look up to! Encourage your students to research a teacher who changed the world. Where are they from? How did they grow up? Why did they want to be a teacher? Once they’ve answered these questions, have each student present their findings with the class — extra points if they dress like their favorite historical teacher!
