| Innovative educator resources are at the core of the National Center. The National Center prepares guides that help educators and youth mentors explore, understand, and apply the National Center’s print and multimedia resources. Educators visiting the National Center can use the resource guides for both pre-visit and follow-up activities, while educators elsewhere will find the resource guides useful as stand-alone resources. |
