Welcome to Teacher Toolkit
NHD can be as challenging to implement as it is rewarding for the students to complete. Students will be working on many different topics and navigating primary and secondary resource repositories. No one person can be an expert on them all. Remember to reach out to us. We can connect teachers or provide advice.
This toolkit will continually be updated. If you had something that worked really well in your classroom and you are willing to share— please email us at historyday@wisconsinhistory.org
