Curriculum That Makes The Grades

This is going to be a fantastic lesson and experience for my students. In a world where there is already so much political polarization, I’m sincerely hopeful that this lesson will help students see that just because they may be on opposite sides of an issue, that doesn’t mean they can’t coexist.
— Matt Schneider, Dec 20, 2023
These lessons and resources have been invaluable to me this semester.
— Traci Stallings, Apr 29, 2024
The toolkit is a life saver! Thorough yet easily tweaked. Best educational purchase I’ve made in 16 years of teaching.
— Stacey Reaves, Jul 12, 2022
The Government Shutdown Lesson was given high marks by my students. They were comfortable with the ideas and were able to explain the concepts to students in other classes. I will take that as a win!

I already teach AP Geography and AP World History. I picked AP Government and I really needed help with prep and planning. These resources are perfect and can be blended perfectly into my textbook and other plans. I cannot recommend this product enough and customer service has been quick and effective.
— Wesley Hartman, Sep 7, 2022
I have used the materials from here for a few years. The class starters have created lots of lively and insightful discussions. They are also useful for introducing new material or digging deeper into them. The other resources are of the same quality caliber.
