TeachersFirst is a rich collection of lessons and
web resources for K-12 classroom teachers, their
students, and even students' families. Materials
are arranged by subject area and grade level,
making it easy to locate lesson plans and associated
web resources quickly.

TeachersFirst is a web resource for K-12 classroom
teachers who want useful resources and lesson
plans to use with their students. TeachersFirst
is a division of Network for Instructional TV, Inc.,
a not-for-profit learning technologies corporation
which works with hundreds of schools throughout
the United States. TeachersFirst is a free service;
support is provided by corporate underwriters interested
in encouraging improvements in the quality of American
education. How TeachersFirst Works

TeachersFirst is a collection of original content,
Internet resources, and lesson plans drawn from
around the world. Each resource is selected and
reviewed by one of TeachersFirst’s reviewers, all of
whom have classroom teaching experience. Reviewed
resources are grouped by subject and grade level, so
that teachers can find what they need quickly.


TeachersFirst concentrates on resources which can
be used in teaching. We provide professional content
on topics which relate to classroom instruction and
teaching issues, rather than attempting to include all
the theoretical and advocacy information which is also
available on the Web. Our audience is "teachers in the
trenches" and we try to meet their needs wherever possible.
