The lessons include simulations, group work and other active strategies to engage students.

If you teach history, economics or government, this curriculum is perfect for you. Join us for a workshop to receive your free curriculum and to see lessons demonstrated. At the completion of the workshop, a certificate of participation will be awarded to attendees. Complimentary continental breakfast and lunch will be served. Registration is limited to the first 50 teachers. There is no fee for the workshop, but advance registration is required.
