Gallopade Unveils its First High School Curriculum

Gallopade, renowned for its K-8 educational resources, has announced a pivotal step in its journey—launching its first-ever high school curriculum. This new offering, a comprehensive Civics and Government program, aims to provide students with a meaningful learning experience that promotes their active participation in democracy.

The announcement was made at the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) conference, held in Washington, D.C., from December 5-7, where educators and administrators had the opportunity to preview this innovative curriculum.

An Evolution in Education

For over 46 years, Gallopade has built a solid reputation for creating standards-aligned Social Studies materials for younger students. This latest curriculum adapts proven teaching methods that emphasize hands-on learning, primary source analysis, and the application of real-world connections, tailored specifically for high school students and educators.

This program addresses the pressing challenges in civics education today—making governmental concepts accessible and relevant across various learning styles. The curriculum also integrates a variety of robust resources that bring educational concepts to life, featuring case studies, primary-source documents, and interactive activities designed to cultivate critical thinking skills.

A Flexible, Interactive Approach

Gallopade's new curriculum has been designed for flexibility and ease of use. It aligns with the latest educational standards while providing teachers the ability to customize content to suit their specific classroom needs. Through Gallopade's innovative GO! platform, educators are equipped with comprehensive, interactive tools for lesson planning, instructional delivery, and assessment.

Heather Coody, the Director of Social Studies Curriculum at Gallopade, expressed the company's excitement about this expansion: "Moving into high school represents a natural evolution of our mission to empower educators and inspire students. High school is a pivotal time for students to develop critical thinking skills, engage in civic life, and become informed citizens."

Coody went on to emphasize that the curriculum is not merely about teaching civics; it also focuses on helping students understand their roles within a democracy and providing them with tools to effect change.
