\u201cWe are proud to continue our collaboration with the National Endowment for the Humanities to produce this companion teacher resource book,\u201d said National History Day Executive Director Dr. Cathy Gorn. \u201cThe benchmarks of National History Day classroom materials shine through in every lesson plan. Thanks to our longstanding partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities and the guiding principles offered by its \u2018A More Perfect Union\u2019 initiative, we have the unique opportunity both to further the NHD mission of improving the teaching and learning of history and to support the NEH\u2019s enduring commitment to tell America\u2019s story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThis collection of primary source materials and lesson plans allows teachers and students to engage directly with historical documents that have helped define our democracy and shed light on our nation\u2019s continuing quest to create a more perfect union,\u201d said NEH Chair Shelly C. Lowe (Navajo). \u201cThe National Endowment for the Humanities is proud to partner with National History Day to make these educational resources available to students everywhere.\u201d The resource includes two introductory essays authored separately by Dr. Prithi Kanakamedala, Associate Professor of History at Bronx Community College & The Graduate Center, City University of New York<\/a>, and Kerry Sautner, the former Chief Learning Officer at the National Constitution Center<\/a>.
