EDUCATION SYSTEM
Ohio State University, Portland
Supplementary American History Books
• The District of Columbia Public Schools conducted its mandatory and very rigorous screening process. The review committee passed the books with praises.
• The Virginia Public School System hired Howell to conduct workshops exclusively to teach teachers. The four workshops, lasting two days, were designed to accommodate 50 participants each, but up to 70 teachers crowded themselves into each of the classes -- with some having to sit and stand in the hallway.
• Cornell, Georgetown, Ohio State, George Mason, James Madison, and other universities have availed their students of her specialized supplemental history instruction.
• Grade schools through colleges, such as Howard University, Vanderbilt University, and other libraries, include the books. Teachers use them as reference material, especially for the younger students. A few hundred public and private school teachers nationwide have purchased the books to include in their lesson plans.
• Agencies of the United States government have hired Howell: to teach classes to students aged 11-13, to speak to government employees involved in Equal Employment Opportunity in order to learn about the aftermath of slavery on America, and to conduct panels and workshops with the books as textbooks.
