Our Mission
Educating tomorrow's leaders so they are empowered as authentically engaged Americans.
We simply want to help students maximize their potential and become engaged people who do great things.
By sparking conversations about identity and history, we hope to go beyond the four walls of a classroom and teach meaningful lessons that are relevant to our lives today.
Lessons encourage class discussion and critical thought through activities that emphasize deeper thinking. Engagement is supported through video, strong imagery, and interactive components.
Discussions to encourage exchange of ideas
Close-up readings to promote deeper thinking
Interactive activities to reinforce learning
The lessons can be easily shared to an LMS, Google Classroom, or downloaded as PDF, making it seamless for teachers to access and distribute the resources they need.
