A Comprehensive Approach to Teaching Current Issues
Close Up’s supplemental resources are designed to provide middle and high school students with multiple perspectives on debatable current events.
To help teachers better promote thoughtful discourse and facilitate productive classroom deliberations using our Current Issues resources, please check out our Professional Development trainings available for individuals, schools, or districts.
As a government teacher, it’s nice to have more resources…
for teaching media literacy and having students critically think about the information they receive.
I learned that there’s a huge network of people with the same goals and drive as me…
and that our collaboration really could make a difference. It gave me hope for the future of our communities and our nation!
I plan to introduce Close Up’s professional development to the teachers I work with…
and use this as a part of my school’s requirement that students take action on issues of local, national, and international importance.
I think Close Up’s virtual program is an amazing experience…
