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 provides free, online lesson plans through its Teaching with Historic Places series. The series features historic buildings, regions, parks, neighborhoods, and archeological sites—all listed on the National Register of Historic Places—where Latino and Hispanic people made history. The lessons align with national curriculum standards and each lesson contains primary and secondary sources, including readings, maps, and images, and recommended activities.
Educators and parents can also find resources for all grade levels in the Educators’ Portal. Search for lesson plans, traveling trunks, materials for loan, and more.
