Educator Resources
CREEES is a US Department of Education-designated National Resource Center, funded through a Title VI Grant to facilitate community and educator outreach on the Russian, Eastern European, and Eurasian regions.
In addition to our own initiatives, we work closely with other area studies centers via Hemispheres, the international outreach consortium at UT Austin, participating in the coordination of outreach efforts with K-12 and pre-service teachers nationwide. Hemispheres offers workshops, free curriculum, and other area-specific resources to help you globalize your classroom!
