Teaching Resources

Need some help fleshing out your lesson plan? Below are some resources that can help:

Explore San Francisco!

Another perk of teaching at Breakthrough is life in the Bay Area. While you won't have lots of free time, what you have will be well spent. Between the arts and music scene, the wide range of neighborhoods, the incredible hiking, and all those stellar restaurants, it's the perfect place to spend the summer. San Francisco is a city where you can hang out on the beach, cool down in the fog, enjoy fresh seafood, listen to live music, and bike across the Golden Gate Bridge, all in one day. What more could you want?
