Teacher Resources

We offer three teachers guides to assist teachers when using these resources in the classroom.

Each resource guide provides inquiry based lessons in historical thinking. The engaging and curriculum-based lessons in this Resource Guide will help students to further understand some of the important events that helped shape our multicultural society, enabling teachers to incorporate them into their lesson plans.

  • Historical thinking concepts introduced in each lesson
  • Video links to supplement print resources
  • Practical exercises tied to the content to promote critical thinking
