The For The Student component of the Poland in the Classroom pages seeks to address the interests and needs of college and high school students by providing textual and graphic material on selected topics. In contrast, the For the Children component provides ready-made instructional material suitable for use with children in the elementary grades. For other sources of the desired information please visit the Center's Poland on the Web; an information clearinghouse which provides annotated links to postings about Poland.

Note: many of the pages in the For the Children component are in pdf format. This takes a little longer but ensures that, upon printing, the pages will be immediatly ready for class use. In order to open the pdf files, one needs to download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software. To do so click on the logo. pdf logo
