This year, the Choices Program was recently selected by the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) as one of the Best Digital Tools for Teaching and Learning in 2023. The award recognizes “digital tools that foster innovation and collaboration, encourage exploration and participation, are user-friendly, and offer information and references.”
“I’m so thrilled that Choices has been recognized by the AASL,” said Rebecca Nedostup, Choices Program Faculty Director. “The staff work as hard at making Choices resources accessible in a variety of ways as they do ensuring that they draw on the most up-to-date scholarship and pedagogy. Choices is a small but mighty self-funded program, and it is wonderful to see their efforts honored.”
The Choices Program offers a wide variety of high-quality educational resources that aim to make innovative scholarship accessible to diverse classrooms. These evidence-based materials include:
- History and Current Issues curriculum units in digital and print formats
- Free online Teaching with the News lesson plans that connect to news
- A free online collection of more than 1,800 short videos featuring scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who address a wide range of topics that complement the Choices curriculum.
Be sure to let your librarian know about Choices. And if your school or district has a Digital Editions Site License, make sure your librarian is added to it!
