Each March, Education World recognizes women's history month with new classroom teaching resources. This year, we're excited to bring you several valuable tools -- including a Women's History WebQuest, Women of the Century. This WebQuest will challenge your students to work cooperatively as they create a women's history encyclopedia to supplement outdated and sorely lacking textbooks!
Also this week:
How Are You Doing With My Crusade? In this week's submitted lesson plan, students learn about women who

And, of course, this week teacher Walter McKenzie reviews ten great sites for teaching women's history in this week's installment in our Great Sites for Teaching About… series.

their mark on the history of tomorrow!
