Description
Summary:United States Government: Principles in Practice is a highly integrated program that provides teachers with a practical and motivational approach to teaching United States government and to helping students think critically and reflectively. Designed to balance the need to cover key, standards-based government topics and motivate students to learn, United States Government provides an innovative program that actively involves students in the learning process by providing content relevant to their everyday lives. Making our political system meaningful to all students, United States Government encourages responsible participation. Piquing the interest of today's media-savvy students is no easy task. But our exclusive partnership with HISTORY means United States Government infuses the study of government with streaming video, instructive games, and interactive features. With innovative learning assets like these, you can fundamentally change the way students experience social studies in general and government in particular. United States Government not only revolutionizes and enhances instruction, but it also engages, inspires, and encourages the love of learning. We provide tools that help students connect with government, see its relevance and importance in their lives, and integrate strategies and support to help them experience success. - Publisher.
