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!
I think Close Up’s virtual program is an amazing experience…
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 learned that there’s a huge network of people with the same goals and drive as me…
and that our collaboration really could make a difference. It gave me hope for the future of our communities and our nation!
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.
