Resources for Teachers
Education : NEH sub-menu



The HistoryMakers understands that locating classroom resources in the sea of websites can sometimes be a difficult task. There are a lot of education-focused sites to sift through, so during the planning of the NEH Summer Institute, we made sure to document the ones that we came across and found most useful. Below is a list of sites, separated broadly by category, that we think might be useful to you in your classrooms or your lesson preparation. This is only a small list out of all the resources available, so if you find others that are particularly helpful to you, please feel free to share them with us.
