Teaching resources for educators
As a part of the Memorial’s mission to educate future generations, we have worked with area K-12 educators to develop lesson plans and visitor activities to help students understand and reflect on the attacks on America on September 11, 2001. The lesson plans identify the Wisconsin state standards to which they align.
