American Kennel Club values educators and the important work they do in the classroom. To assist educators in the classroom, we have created resources for educators. We offer rigorous, standards aligned lesson plans for grades kindergarten through twelve in the subjects of math, social studies, language arts and science. These lessons aim to engage and educate students in the curriculum, while also introducing information about purebred dogs. We also offer professional development articles for teachers, as well as hands-on activities for preschool aged children.
