TwHP links to social studies standards
Each of the more than 115 online Teaching with Historic Places lesson plans produced by the National Register of Historic Places now identifies the applicable National Council for Social Studies (NCSS) Curriculum Standards for Social Studies. TwHP lessons are matched to the NCSS Performance Expectations for Middle Grades, but the lessons often also meet the corresponding or additional performance expectations for early grades and/or high school. The lessons are also indexed so that teachers can easily see which lessons fit a particular "theme strand" from the standards. http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/twhp/
