 A note from Joan
Schaeffer:
We have appreciated your many requests for characters and are
very pleased to announce our Common Core Role Models for the 2017-18 school
year: LAURA INGALLS WILDER: Writer of the Frontier, BEN FRANKLIN: Inventor
and Founding Father, and HELEN KELLER: Champion of the Disabled. These
programs will directly complement your K-8 Common Core Curricula in ELA,
history, social studies, STEM, character education, bullying prevention and
more.
In these entertaining, interactive, multimedia performances, each character
is vividly brought to life from childhood through adulthood, so children see how they developed the character qualities needed to achieve
their dreams and goals.
HPC's full roster of characters will help children more deeply understand the
connection between the past and the present as they prepare to meet the
challenges of the future. Yes, they can read
about these inspiring figures, and we do strongly encourage students to go to
their libraries to learn more. But if they intimately experience a character's full life, they will gain a
far more personal and deeper insight. They will also never forget.
We look forward to inspiring your students with these extraordinary Common
Core Role Models this year.
-Joan Schaeffer
President
