Learn about America’s National Cemeteries, honor the veterans laid to rest there, and receive FREE, classroom-ready teaching resources developed by the Korean War Legacy Foundation.
The Korean War Legacy Foundation has developed ten new secondary-level social studies lessons that honor veterans and connect National Cemeteries to the history and legacy of the Korean War. These instructional materials were created in collaboration with the Veterans Legacy Program (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs).
Workshop participants will actively engage with the lessons, hear from VA staff and the teachers who authored the curriculum, and take part in a guided tour of a National Cemetery. We invite you to join us for this meaningful professional learning experience.
