The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History websites provides a plethora of information and resources for teachers and students. This website covers numerous time periods in American History including the Founding era, Slavery and Abolition, the Civil War, Lincoln era, Westward Expansion, Immigration, Early 20th century, Great Depression and WWII, and American 1945-Present. Among each of these periods in U.S. history teacher are provided with multiple resources designed for lesson plans on the specific time period. A major strength of this website is its collection of primary source documents that provide valuable insight into what each time period special. In addition, teachers are provided with lesson plans for many different grade levels and appropriate resources to teach each lesson plan.
Another beneficial aspect of this website is its collection of scholarly articles that provide more insight and understanding of the issues they uncover, which will also the teachers to expand their knowledge. Teachers also given access to visual and audio resources that allow students to learn using new resources and methods that may better suit them. Another great aspect of this website is that lesson plans are made by credible teacher who have taught them and have been recognized for their good work. I feel completely confident in using this website as a teaching resource, and have concerns about recommending this website to other teachers.
