TPT Learn
EDUCATION Curriculum: The four episodes of Jim Crow of the North Stories were added to PBSLM. The support materials for each episode include a facilitator guide, unique discussion questions, and additional resources. The resources are intended for use in grade 6-12 social studies classrooms. Data: During the reporting period, there were a total of 98 page views on PBSLM.
DESCRIPTION TPT’s education team created and published standards-aligned resources for multiple Legacy- supported programs: STAGE S2, Outside Chance S2, Relish S1-4, Jim Crow of the North Stories , and Bring Her Home . To extend the life of past Legacy-funded programs, the team also created and published standards-aligned resources for Outside Chance S1 , MinneHistory S1 , and Out North . TPT Learn widely promoted these resources with educators via professional development convenings, e-newsletters, and social media. IMPACT TPT‘s Legacy-funded projects reached 9,472 users nationwide during the reporting period. This is 37% more than the previous year. Of that, 2,921 users were from the state of Minnesota, an increase of 91.5% from the previous year. We have reached formal and informal educators, parents and caregivers, and community members through strategic efforts in professional development, e-newsletters, and social media. TPT gathered feedback from educators through the Legacy survey, professional development trainings, and educational events. At the annual MEA Conference in October 2022, TPT shared TPT Learn and PBS LearningMedia (PBSLM) resources with attendees in 15-minute segments. Following the demonstration, TPT surveyed 47 educators about the types of resources needed and how TPT can meet this need. Among respondents: • 62% find access to videos to be valuable to their work. • 55% also said that the related curriculum would be of use to them. • 77% use resources either from web, social media, or broadcast TV in their classroom. Through the afterschool educator trainings, which highlighted Legacy-funded programs and resources like Outside Chance , STAGE , and Jim Crow of the North , 100% of educators reported that the training was interactive and engaging and 79% said that the training materials and content were helpful. “My children have autism and other developmental delays. They also have ADHD. My youngest has dyslexia. These barriers to learning have necessitated creativity when searching for learning materials for them. I love the variety of lessons available, and I especially love that they will engage with the interactive lessons.” – TPT Learn Parent

EPISODES
A Racial Border in Minneapolis | Episode 101 Since the release of Jim Crow of the North , words are becoming action. A city attorney in Golden Valley discovers her city’s role in segregation and cofounds Just Deeds to rewrite racist documents. Oliver Lyle shares his experience of police harassment at the Golden Valley border and his efforts to rewrite the law of the land. In this age of racial reckoning, Golden Valley works to make amends. Reparations in Minnesota | Episode 102 Resistance to reparations in the North is often because people believe Northern states had no part in slavery. But history shows that slave labor and money from slavery built Minnesota. What might reparations look like in Minnesota? Free the Deeds, an artist-activist group, raises awareness of the history of racial covenants in South Minneapolis through art, engagement, and the simple lawn sign. Cofounder Diver Van Avery offers a nuanced approach to reparations, the challenge of getting majority-white neighborhoods to dive into difficult history, and how people can get engaged. The Power of Black Homeownership | Episode 103 Black homeownership can change generational wealth. The stories of two Black families show the pain and power of choosing which neighborhood to call home: vibrant but undervalued Northside, or prosperous, unwelcoming Southside. An artist then turns those stories into art to help people engage with this difficult history. Community Land Trusts | Episode 104 Learn about the Minneapolis Land Trust working to keep as many homes as possible affordable forever. In the wake of George Floyd’s murder, some white homeowners in Minneapolis are taking action towards racial justice with their real estate. A complex but powerful new model could transform the homeownership landscape in Minneapolis, while some home sellers are choosing to incur major financial losses for racial equity.
