Resources for Educators

This page is meant to provide educators, primarily K-12, with resources to help them integrate material from Explore Chicago into their curriculum. If you are looking for guidance on using Explore, take a look at our Help Guide.

Many CCC members work with educators on programming for all ages. We have collected standards, lesson plans, community partnerships, and training resources on this page.
