Teaching Resources
NAGT works to foster improvement in the teaching of the Earth sciences at all levels of formal and informal instruction, to emphasize the cultural significance of the Earth sciences and to disseminate knowledge in this field to the general public. We support research-based teaching through professional development workshops and the sharing of cutting edge teaching materials.
Teach the Earth
Teach the Earth (TTE) is a portal to thousands of teaching resources from dozens of Earth Education websites. Managed by NAGT and SERC, this portal supports teaching and learning about the Earth by providing online resources for K-12 and undergraduate educators in the geosciences and related fields. Resources include classroom activities, course descriptions and syllabi, information about pedagogical strategies, topical collections, and more.

Rock and Mineral Exchange
This service from NAGT and MSA aims to bring these educators together so that surplus resources can be moved between institutions as a way of improving educational opportunities for some and freeing up space for others. Here you can browse through postings related to specimens that other users are making available as well as those related to specimens being sought.
