“I took a look at your web site…I am sure it is very useful to teachers. I was glad to see the links to the National Archives and I thought the Organizations Database was great—so much good information in one place.”

John McGuiness, Nantucket High School
“The mini-series PLACE in Massachusetts History, gave me an opportunity to expand my teaching and introduce my students to a unique perspective on the development of events.”

Prof. Anita Danker, Assumption College, Worcester
”I have been doing some workshops for K-12 teachers on local history, and I wanted to tell you how helpful the MSP website has been. The links to primary sources are just fantastic.”

Paula Jones Aieta, Hamilton Wenham Middle School
“I usually do a unit on Massachusetts at the beginning of the year and I will definitely use the website with my students this year. I also will share it with our elementary teachers who will be adding Mass. studies to their curriculum.”

Barbara White, Cyrus Pierce Middle School, Nantucket
“The website that was created on African History in Massachusetts with its emphasis on the use of primary sources has made the use of those primary sources very accessible and usable. This very useful site for both teachers and students has been bookmarked on our school’s portable computers.”

Betsy Sales, Galvin Middle School, Canton
“When I was a fifth grade teacher, my students accessed this website to learn about Massachusetts resources, in particular the Neponset River and watershed. Currently my grade 6 students use the MSP web site to find cities and towns and apply their mathematical skills to the information they learn…making a variety of graphs and charts.”

Elaine Cawley Weintraub, Ed. D
“MSP’s databases and website are attractively presented, and provide numerous opportunities for teachers to not only use the materials available, but to recreate some of the work within their own communities...It is not only an excellent resource but a tool for professional development… It provides both recognition and encouragement and is quite invaluable to teachers.”
