Our partner, National History Day, invites students and people of all ages to think about the idea of leadership through "100 Leaders in World History." Vote — and involve your students in voting — for your favorite leaders, see the full Leader Gallery, check out “Who’s Trending Now?” and find classroom resources.
NHD developed the 100 Leaders in World History project in conjunction with this year’s NHD annual contest theme, Leadership and Legacy in History, to help future leaders better understand leadership.
You can use our Docs Teach page to get your students thinking about leadership and legacy in our history through online activities and primary sources. Or use our main online catalog to locate primary sources related to specific leaders such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Mao Zedong, Nelson Mandela, Fidel Castro, Albert Einstein, Thurgood Marshall, or Thomas Jefferson.
And find even more NHD resources from the National Archives on our website.
(Editor’s note: Check out the original post from the National Archives: Education Updates blog.
And don’t forget about ELM databases for History Day that will help your students find essential resources for background information, context, short- and long-term impact, and multimedia.)
