Scholars Online

Scholars Online brings university scholars into secondary level classrooms. Videos of scholars who have contributed to the development of curriculum units or participated in Choices professional development programs are provided in an interview format. Designed to be used with Choices printed curricula, these short, informative videos can be used in conjunction with student readings or with lessons that accompany each unit. Each video discusses a specific question and includes graphics to help students better understand the scholar's answer to the question.

Scholars Online is tailored for use in classrooms, for homework, and for professional development. Used in conjunction with Choices printed and digital curricula, Scholars Online can help develop a range of skills and reach a variety of student learning styles.

The Choices Program is non-partisan in its approach to contested international issues. Choices is committed to providing opportunities for students to weigh all sides of an issue and listen to the views of others before coming to their own decisions. Scholars Online is one way that Choices provides this opportunity to students.

New titles will be added to Scholars Online as interviews become available.
