Dear Families and Educators,

Welcome to the HGSE ""Virtual School"" Lesson Plan Database!

We hope these lessons can be useful for you and your children to continue learning at home. Below you will find a list of all of the resources in our database. These are a mix of lessons designed by Harvard Graduate School of Education students and selected activities available online. You can search by age group, subject, topic and time or resources needed for the lesson. To do this, click on "Data" from the menu above --> then click on "filter views" --> then click on "create new temporary filter view" or click on the tabs by age group. Every tab links directly to each lesson.

We are continually adding to this database. Please feel free to share this with anyone who needs it: https://bit.ly/hgsedatabase

If you would like to add any resources, please email keya_lamba@gse.harvard.edu
