LESSON PLANS

Grants of $2000 each available for teachers who are interested in writing a new lesson plan or curricular unit dealing with a topic pertaining to Western Europe. The grants are intended to compensate teachers who take a course, travel, or conduct research to enhance their knowledge about Western Europe and prepare lesson plans accordingly. The lesson plans should meet state and national standards for a particular area and will be made available to the general public. Priority will be given to lesson plans that deal with contemporary (post-1989) issues and to teachers in the Midwest. Please include in application and send to our address:

  • Description of lesson plan topic, indicating which standards will be addressed
  • Intended activity to enhance knowledge
  • Two letters of support (from principal, chair, colleague, or professor)
