This framework and approach from the UCI Central American Studies in K–12 Curriculum Project has ideas and strategies for teaching Central American Studies in K–12.

Learn how to make early reading and writing culturally relevant to migrant children from Central America and the Dominican Republic using this guide.

The Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs (CLASP), on behalf of the Américas Award, produced an extensive teaching guide to accompany the book written by Katrina Dillon in 2015.

Resources, suggested reflection questions, and activities that are meant to help teachers introduce the Darién Gap crisis to their students within the context of political rhetoric and global migration crises. 

This teaching guide includes interactive lessons on land distribution in Nicaragua before the revolution; the Sandinistas; the involvement of the United States; the literacy campaign; Ben Linder; and the Honduran connection.

Introduce to students that poetry, mythology and art perpetuate traditions and customs of a culture or ethnic group.
