Don't miss a beat
The Center for Learning was founded over 40 years ago by a team of innovative literature, language arts, and social studies instructors. Their mission: to help teachers excel in the classroom by providing values-based educational materials that promote critical thinking.
Fundamentals of Economics
These 70 activity-driven lessons form a semester-long survey course that teaches content knowledge through detailed readings supported by skill-building and critical-thinking challenges. The handout-driven lessons can lift out or serve as carefully scaffolded core curriculum in classrooms without an economics textbook.
British Literature
From Stone Age implements to the complexities of Elizabethan drama and the elaborate conceits of the metaphysical poets, this unit Includes passages from works such as the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf, Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, the influential essays of Bacon, Shakespeare’s sonnets, Milton’s opus Paradise Lost, and Bunyan’s allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress, examining each for the prevailing archetypes and themes present in each work.
Advanced Placement* U.S. History
Thirty-two lessons solidify students’ knowledge of material covered on the exam and requires them to complete such tasks as analyzing documents, assessing historical interpretations, composing thesis sentences, writing short essays responding to FRQs, and tackling DBQs.
The Men and Women of Letters
Students analyze the model letters and then craft letters of their own. The models include actual letters from famous figures, historical context for the letters, tips on how to write the particular genre, and, just for fun, historical background on the origins of each of the 26 letters of the alphabet.
