Built for College, Career, & Civic Readiness

Students don’t just learn facts—they learn how to:

• Read like historians

• Write like analysts

• Evaluate evidence

• Recognize bias

• Engage in structured discussion

• Build arguments

• Think independently

Your classroom becomes a place where students practice the skills that matter most—inside school and beyond it.

Research-Backed Instruction That Works

Every lesson is built on frameworks aligned to the newest research in:

✔ Disciplinary Literacy

✔ Retrieval Practice & Spaced Learning

✔ SRSD Writing Instruction

✔ Reciprocal Teaching & Text-Structure Modeling

Your students don’t just complete lessons—they become stronger thinkers, readers, and writers.

Perfect for teachers who want rigorous instruction without the 5-hour prep.
