Lesson Plans, Discussion Questions, and Activities for Your Classroom

Today’s interdependent global economy and geopolitical landscape connect America’s interests more than ever to the actions and interests of other countries and their citizens.

To support educators teaching about our interconnected world, CFR Education offers a broad suite of ready-made lesson plans, discussion questions, and activities that accompany the site’s videos and readings. In providing these resources, CFR Education strives to ensure that high school and higher education students develop the knowledge, skills, and perspective to understand and engage effectively in their world.

The pages that follow include a sampling of the various types of teaching resources CFR Education offers. Designed by educators for educators, each resource is carefully crafted to complement existing learning materials and engage students through active, thoughtful learning.

All teaching resources can be found under the "Teach" tab, organized by their respective topics.

Teaching resources are typically tagged as “High School” or “Higher Education”; however, we encourage educators to use their discretion when selecting which resources to incorporate in their classrooms.
