Teach and Learn More About Haiti
The Power of Education Foundation Lesson Plans
We have created PowerPoint based lesson plans to help your students learn key standards-based objectives while also challenging their thinking about the world, using Haiti as an example. The lessons range from elementary through high school and hit on topics such as art, math, and social studies. These slideshows are also great for families who are sponsoring a child in Haiti to use to engage the whole family.
