Curriculum Units
The curriculum units National Fellows write are compiled in a volume for each seminar. The volume contains an introduction by the Yale faculty member who led the seminar that describes what the National Fellows studied.
Curriculum units, the product of the National Fellows' seminar experience, are designed to teach their own students about the seminar subject. Each curriculum unit contains: content objectives — a clear statement of the subject matter the unit seeks to cover; teaching strategies — a unified, coherent teaching plan for those objectives; classroom activities; resources for teachers and students; and an appendix on how the unit implements academic standards of their school district.

Since the Yale National Initiative began in 2005, hundreds of teaching units have been prepared by scores of teachers on countless themes. The volumes containing the teaching units are a treasure trove of ideas and procedures for teaching English, History, Social Studies, Languages, the Arts, Mathematics, and Science in elementary and secondary schools.
