As Humanities educators, we support districts and teachers by providing customized services to ensure best first instruction in literacy, language, social sciences and the arts with culturally and linguistically responsive curriculum and research-based strategies available through professional learning, coaching and networks. High quality, differentiated instruction in the Humanities prepares all students for college, career and civic life so they are able to enrich their communities and participate in our dynamic world.
