Curriculum Units by National Fellows
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.
Each teacher participating in a national seminar prepares a curriculum unit to be taught the following year in their school and to be shared with other teachers in the school district and elsewhere.
Guides to the curriculum units consist of synopses written by their authors and contain recommendations of the school courses and grade levels where the units may best apply.
