Teach It!

Providing free education tools and materials for teachers, interpreters, students, and lifelong learners inside and outside the National Park Service is one important way we support the agency's mission. The value of America's cultures and diverse heritages may be lost if it's not passed on to the next generation or experienced by the present one.

The National Park Service offers tools such as the Teaching with Historic Places program and the Teacher's Portal. The Teaching with Historic Places Program offers free, online lesson plans featuring the places where American women made history as pioneers, activists, entrepreneurs, humanitarians, and more. Find lesson plans about historic places in National Parks and in the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places to enliven history, social studies, geography, civics, and other subjects.

Educators and parents can also find resources for all grade levels in the Teacher’s Portal. Search for lesson plans, traveling trunks, materials for loan, and more.
