Aztec Ruins provides many resources for teachers. Call the visitor center to reserve a traveling trunk of replica artifacts for use in your classroom. A teacher's guide, full of readings and lesson plans, is available to download and print from this website. Aztec Ruins is a great destination for a field trip.

As of 2024, Aztec Ruins is now offering Ranger-led curriculum-based 2nd, 4th, and 7th grade programs. If interested, please email AZRU_Education@nps.gov specifying which program and a general date. Our Education Coordinator will reply to your email and work with you directly to get your class scheduled.
