As a methods professor, your work in shaping future teachers is wildly critical to the future of our nation and planet. The Choices Program is here to help you provide your students with the materials and tools they will need to be successful in social studies and history classrooms.
Start here: Want to know exactly what is in our curriculum? Check out what’s inside a Choices curriculum unit!
Then select free units: We offer all methods professors complimentary curriculum units in our Digital Editions format. These may be used in your classes to show exemplary curriculum and can also be used by your students when they are student teaching. See our complete collection in the curriculum catalog and then email Mimi_Stephens@brown.edu with your unit selections.
Explore our free resources: These Choices Program materials are free to all educators:
- Our free online video collection includes more than 1,800 videos featuring leading scholars, journalists, practitioners, artists, activists, policy makers, and others addressing topics relevant to our curriculum units. Also check out our themed playlists on YouTube. Our videos are a great resource for new teachers!
- Our free Teaching with the News lessons take one to three class periods to complete and are an excellent option for teaching about current events. Your soon-to-be teachers will appreciate having short, ready-to-use classroom materials at their fingertips.
- Our Japanese American Incarceration in World War II curriculum unit is free in Digital Editions, thanks to National Park Service funding.
