What is the Educator Resource Center?
We created the Educator Resource Center to help you find the best educational resources for your class all in one place: teacher lesson plans, classroom materials and teaching resources. The website offers a variety of materials to use in your classroom or in conjunction with your educational tour. You’ll find
lesson plans, activities and online exhibits created by educators at the Smithsonian Institution and PBS.
The Educator Resource Center also features information about Smithsonian museums and details about
professional development and
educational opportunities for you and your students.
How do I get started?
It's easy. Just
log in to your group leader website, click on "Forms and resources" and find the Educator Resource Center under "Pre-tour essentials."
