HISTORICALLY SPEAKING
A LASTING EFFECT
Lessons from Maryland’s Early Educational History
Please join us THURSDAY, October 1st at 7:00pm at the Inn at Leonardtown for the third Historically Speaking program of this year when Ms. Jennifer Brown, adjunct instructor of Political Science at Harford Community College and member of Maryland Family Institute Academic Advisory Board, speaks on education in early Maryland and its impact down to today.
St. Mary's County worked to establish a free school system early on. Ms. Brown will dig into the educational system (most of which existed in southern Maryland and around the Chesapeake) further. She will look at how the shifting political/religious climate impacted education and how Maryland's approach to education compared to neighboring states at the founding period.
Ms. Brown will also analyze how this early period impacts Maryland education today and why history remains an important element for sound education policy making.
There is no cost. Reservations are recommend but not required. Click A Lasting Effect: Lessons from Maryland’s Early Educational History to let us know you're coming.
