Abstract	This booklet is written for communities and their schools to help them design educational programs and activities that use local historical and cultural resources. This approach to teaching and learning is often referred to as heritage education by preservationists, museum educators, site interpreters, and folklorists. The document addresses the importance of the relationship between a community and its schools in promoting cultural education. In a section on heritage education and the school curriculum, the booklet suggests different ways that teachers can use the historical and cultural resources in their area to teach history, geography, social sciences, civics, the arts, language and literature, science and technology, basic skills, and higher-order thinking skills. Programs from different areas of the country are described including that developed by Drayton Hall, a National Trust historic property near Charleston, South Carolina in conjunction with local school districts. Another program discussed consists of a series of resource packets developed by teachers, scholars, and the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut. The "Adopt a Building" program from the Texas State Historical Association, and programs in Washington, D.C., Kansas City (Missouri), and Salt Lake City (Utah) are described. Information on developing a program includes encouraging a preservation ethic, designing an educational program for the schools, professional development for heritage educators, funding for heritage education programs, and resources for heritage education.
