The Delaware Public Archives is proud to present this new online collection of lesson plans for Delaware teachers to use in their classrooms. Sponsored by the Friends of the Delaware Archives, this project provides teachers with ready-to-use, standards-based lessons that engage students with a range of primary and secondary sources. In creating this new set of lesson plans the Archives’ partnered closely with Delaware’s education community, including the University of Delaware, Wesley College and the Delaware Department of Education. Delaware teachers created the lessons with careful attention to Delaware’s social studies standards and formatting used in the Delaware Recommended Curriculum. We encourage you to review the lessons and discover what can be used in your classroom!
Special Thanks to the Friends of the Delaware Archives for sponsoring this education project. For more on the Friends (FODA), please see the FODA page found on the Delaware Public Archives’ website.
