Helpfulness

Undoubtedly one of the best efforts at curriculum transformation across subject areas (this series is not just for history teachers) available for the middle and high school students.

This [series] is meant to give you a taste of the excitement of historical interpretation and debate. It is also meant to give you guidance in learning the skills necessary to evaluate conflicting viewpoints. The goal is to empower you, as citizens in a democratic society, to make decisions for yourself regarding what you read, see, or hear about the issues of tomorrow--issues where there are few easy answers, and where reasonable people disagree.

Teaching history from a critical thinking perspective makes sense both as good history and good preparation for 'real world' decision making.

I applaud the author's selection of relevant topics, the excellent research behind each topic and the sequential development of critical thinking skills. This series will definitely challenge and motivate students in a way no dry textbook can.

Excellent tools to equip children for participation in our government. Empowers my children to discuss intelligently, and disagree respectfully, on the important issues of our day.

We strongly suggest...you use the Critical Thinking in United States History series....[T]hey are invaluable in helping the student evaluate historical evidence.

This...should be in the hands of every American history teacher. It is great! I am thankful and grateful for the minds that have produced all your products.

This series of four books can be used along with almost any history course to train students in critical analysis. (Along the way they will also learn a significant amount of history.) The lessons are both interesting and challenging. [I] expect [students] will enjoy such lessons far more than reading textbooks.
