Early results are promising: In eight pilot classrooms across six states, 270 students engaged with the course. An overwhelming 83% demonstrates growth in core competencies and achieved proficiency in academic content. Teachers rated student engagement 4 out of 5 and reported a teaching experience of 4.3 out of 5—exceeding ratings for most curricula they use.

This course is more than a curriculum-it's a model for how civic learning and history education can support voice, purpose and agency in young people. These project-based history units blend learning science, relevance, and reflection to create immersive, standards-aligned, teen-centered experiences that build competencies for learning and thriving.
