Funded by the U.S. Department of Education (contract number ED-07-CO-0088), the National History Education Clearinghouse (NHEC) is designed to help K–12 history teachers access resources and materials to improve U.S. history education in the classroom.

The Clearinghouse, funded through the Office of Innovation and Improvement’s Teaching American History (TAH) program, builds on and disseminates the valuable lessons learned by more than 900 TAH projects designed to raise student achievement by improving teachers’ knowledge and understanding of traditional U.S. history.

The Center for History and New Media (CHNM) has created the Clearinghouse with the goal of placing history content, teaching strategies, current research and issues, community building, and easy access to resources at center stage.

We aim to bring together the many communities involved in improving history education and professional development for history teachers, allowing practitioners, historians, administrators, and history educators to present multiple perspectives, debate current issues, and work together to improve history teaching in classrooms throughout the United States.
