National History Day (NHD) is a program that can be used to meet students’ learning needs. At its core, it is differentiated instruction. Students can select topics that provide a higher or lower level of challenge. Students can choose to work individually or in a group, and students can choose a contest category that best fits their individual needs. <\/p>\n\n

This guide offers guidelines and suggestions to teachers to meet the learning needs of students in their classrooms. This document will provide resources and suggestions that can be adapted for use in a classroom. This document will be updated over time to reflect updated practice, language, and resources.
