Free Lessons From The Kennedy Center

Website: http://artsedge.kennedy-center.org/educators/lessons.aspx

 Lesson plans on The Kennedy Center website are interactive and searchable by topic. They feature many learning resources and could be easily adapted to the CTE classroom. One of my favorite lessons called America; A Home for Every Culture features the many cultures that make up the United States. This would be a great way to teach tolerance and diversity!
