LaGuardia and Wagner Archives on the NY Times Learning Network

Steven A. Levine
Coordinator for Educational Programs


Last spring the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives and the LaGuardia Honors Program's Friends of Koch collaborated to create a video on Mayor Ed Koch's Ten Year Housing Plan and how it revitalized entire neighborhoods throughout New York City.  That video is the basis for a lesson on the New York Times Learning Network developed by Tara Hickman and me called "Reader Idea | Researching Political History to Understand How a Community Problem Was Solved"
Please take a look at it and if you use it in your class, please let us know your experiences.
