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’m truly blown away by what Close Up’s been able to accomplish in the last two weeks during IMPACT 2020…
The material seems very high level, and my daughter’s been very motivated to participate every day. I wanted to be sure to commend the staff on providing such a great experience!
Close Up is a positive experience for students…
seeing themselves as having the power to influence the democratic process.
Close Up brought me CLOSER to politics…
the entire notion no longer seemed obscure. I became very involved in politics on the local and national level.
