Put students at the center of the foundations and function of government
Active Classroom’s Government and Economics Collection examines the formation of our constitutional government and covers the basics of economics in addition to complex concepts, market structures, and policies.
Choose your level of flexibility and differentiation
Teach all the lessons or choose among them to provide students with a background in the philosophy, functions, and structure of the United States government. Search and sort activities by Lexile Level to further customize the curriculum for your students.
Give students the power to deepen their knowledge
Activities feature compelling questions to support student-led inquiry and DBQs to support student writing. And built-in tools, such as word and image dictionaries and a read aloud option, help students strengthen literacy skills at their own pace.
Easily track progress and give feedback
The Government and Economics Collection is so much more than a curriculum. Active Classroom makes it easy to assign lessons, track student progress, and give feedback all from one teacher dashboard.
The Active Classroom platform integrates with Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, and ClassLink. Ask us about other LMS.
Structured, flexible, or somewhere in between
Introduce your students to the concepts and issues of economics through close readings, engaging videos, and simulations. You can choose to teach an entire lesson or assign the parts that meet your needs.
Meet your students where they are
Many activities within the lessons cover the same reading at three levels, making it easy to differentiate learning for each student. Built-in tools give students the power to differentiate even more using Read Aloud, Translation, and Dictionary options.
Gradebook included!
Track student progress on individual assignments and easily give oral or written feedback within the Gradebook. Teachers also love the auto-graded multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank quizzes.
