Resources and services
A resource library, readings, classroom handouts, multimedia, teaching strategies and professional learning events.
Where to start
Choose a resource around a specific historical or civic question, then review its context and age suitability. When material involves discrimination or violence, plan the discussion structure and student support before using it. Browse the teaching-strategies collection alongside the content.
Access and considerations
A free educator account supports saved collections and event tracking. Most student resources do not require login, but some licensed videos do; students 15 and younger cannot create site accounts. Check individual event conditions and preview media access before assigning it.
