The following are some resources may be useful for teachers. Please remember that:
1. There is not one single way to implement NHD - make it work for you (semester project, year project, unit project, etc...)
2. If you would like some ideas, don't hesitate to contact us. We'll help brainstorm some ideas about how to help you make NHD a success in your curriculum.
3. If you don't find what you need, let us know and we'll try and help. Also, there are so many resources out there from other states, just try a Google search and you'll find countless resources.
