A Comprehensive Approach to Teaching Current Issues
Close Up’s supplemental Current Issues resources are designed to provide middle school and high school students with multiple perspectives on debatable current events.
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 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’m truly blown away by what Close Up’s been able to accomplish in the last two weeks during IMPACT 2020…
The material seems very high level, and my daughter’s been very motivated to participate every day. I wanted to be sure to commend the staff on providing such a great experience!
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 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.
