Welcome
to the Chicago Foundation for Education’s online database of grant-winning
lesson units and teaching strategies. We have designed this database to allow
our grant winners an opportunity to share their great ideas, and for other
teachers to use them in their classroom.
How to search for lesson plans:
- Use the 2 search criteria in the heading
above (subject area and grade level) to restrict your search
- Use control or apple to highlight multiple
search criteria
- Hit “GO” to retrieve lessons
With this database you can:
- Search for creative instructional units and strategies to apply
in your classroom
- Learn research-proven teaching strategies
that will increase student learning
- E-mail lesson plans to a friend
- Sign up to receive e-mail updates when new
lessons are added or for notification of CFE grant application deadlines

Please refer to our FAQ if you have questions about adding your project.
Keep informed when new projects for your specific subject areas and grade levels are added by signing up for a newsletter through the link at the top of the page.
