A Comprehensive Approach to Teaching Current Issues
Close Up’s supplemental current events 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 resources and promote thoughtful classroom discourse!
Close Up is a positive experience for students…
seeing themselves as having the power to influence the democratic process.
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.
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 think Close Up’s virtual program is an amazing experience…
