18 small booklets for educators, parents, and other interested people designed to stimulate conversation about what is being taught in our schools.
Solutions to curricular problems are not likely to come from legislated, top-down mandates. Solutions will come from the thoughtful dialog of those who care about solving the problems.
Designed for small, self-led groups meeting at intervals of their own choosing, the series of booklets helps participants think through fundamental questions by means of casual, informal conversation.

Also Essential.
Investigations in American History adds depth to content which is often dealt with superficially—the values and beliefs which give America its distinctive identity, the causes and effects of
regional differences, the dynamics of social change, the cascading effects of technological change, and the "trends of the era."
To introduce Investigations in American History, the first two parts,
"Getting Started" and "Analyzing Spanish Colonial Society" are available as a free download.
