Homestead National Monument of America strives to provide high quality curriculum-based educational material for teachers, parents, and students of all grade levels. The resources of Homestead National Monument are ideal for exploring topics in many content areas such as earth science, life science, and social studies.

With the assistance of local teachers, graduate students and other educational organizations, Homestead National Monument of America created a new curriculum guide for grades K-12. Each topic area has pre-activities to prepare your students for their field trip and post activities to reinforce the concepts learned on their field trip. The activities are designed to be used with or without a field trip to Homestead National Monument of America.

Homestead National Monument of America's K-12 curriculum guide is available on a flash drive! To get your flash drive email Tina Miller at e-mail us.

Also learn about math materials that are available and about Teaching with Historic Places by going to Curriculum Materials. Homestead also provides Distance Learning opportunities. Find out more about our Professional Development opportunities. The monument plans to host Teacher Workshops once a year as well. Schools that are interested in any of these educational opportunities should contact:
