A Comprehensive Approach to Teaching Current Issues
Close Up’s supplemental Current Event resources for students are designed to provide middle schoolers and high schoolers with multiple perspectives on debatable current issues.
Be sure to check out our professional development trainings and our other work to help teachers, schools, and districts best utilize our Current Issues and Events resources and promote thoughtful classroom discourse!
Close Up made me realize how SIGNIFICANT my thoughts and views are…
Although everyone will not always agree, everyone has a voice and needs to be heard.
I think Close Up’s virtual program is an amazing experience…
Close Up is a positive experience for students…
seeing themselves as having the power to influence the democratic process.
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.
