The website Federal Resources for Educational Excellence is a beneficial tool for all teachers to appreciate. This site is a database that holds a collection of multiple links to other educational and historical websites. Within these website links, one can find pre-made lesson plans, primary documents, photographs, video clips and much more. Essentially, this website allows educators access to many resources from an array of sties not only for social studies teachers, but teachers of other content areas as well.
When first entering the site, a subject map appears where you can select from all content areas, which are then broken down more specifically. For instance, under U.S. History Topics, a teacher can look under the topic wars, and then click the link to a specific war, the American Revolution is one example. This link will take you to a featured resource page where multiple website links will appear along with the summary of the material within the links. Some of the featured website links include the National Park Service, the Smithsonian Institute, the Library of Congress, etc. By entering these websites, teachers can find classroom activities, lessons, and material to enrich students learning.
Along the top of the subject map page a tool bar featuring an animations page, primary docs page, photos page, and entrepreneur’s page can be located. These pages provide an immense amount of resources, particularly valuable for history, which includes primary sources to further student’s learning of a specific period.
The Federal Resources for Educational Excellence provides teachers with limitless resources to enhance students learning and I would highly recommend using this site to begin learning more about specific events and creating lessons for students.
