Classroom Resources
Mystic Seaport is committed to providing teachers with cutting edge teaching materials, professional development experiences and online resources that explore America's relationship with our nation's seas, rivers and lakes. We hope that you will think of the Teachers section as a dynamic place to visit for stimulating ideas on teaching history, literature, art and science. Just like lifelong learning, this section will always be a work in progress. Please, become part of the process. Share your thoughts on the resources that you would like to see online, subjects and themes to be explored in future online articles and curriculum units, or tell us about the role America's seas play in your classroom. You can email your inquiries to education@mysticseaport.org.
