Over Ten Years of Research and Development
The expertise of historians, archivists, librarians, classroom teachers, curriculum designers, instructional coaches, and education policy leaders is woven into every aspect of the curriculum and reflects over ten years of research and development. A hallmark of Intersections & Connections is perpetuity and sustainability, including ongoing refinements, content additions, and privacy and security vigilance.
In 2019, our leadership team co-authored the National Council for the Social Studies Position Statement on Contextualizing LGBTQ History. We are providing educators with the resources they need to realize the position statement's vision of advancing the ideals of liberty and American democracy through the process of contextualizing history, civics, and social studies.
