Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute


This site houses a compilation of curricular materials. Dozens of courses are listed, representing a broad spectrum of topics in the sciences and humanities. Most of the material was written for middle school and high school, but could be adapted to a wider audience. There are several courses in the earth sciences, including geology, global change, and environmental science. Each course includes self-contained modules, lesson plans, student activities and background materials.
