The Center for Learning was founded over 40 years ago by a team of innovative literature, language arts, and social studies instructors. Their mission: to help teachers excel in the classroom by providing values-based educational materials that promote critical thinking. Why values-based? Because young people care passionately about values like justice and injustice, so weaving discussions about values into lessons gives students educational experiences they care about. Why critical thinking? Because it is not enough for students to know a thing or two about this great novel or that crucial historical era. Students must know how to question, evaluate, draw well-supported conclusions, and argue persuasively. That’s what Center for Learning curriculum aims to bring to your classroom. The Center for Learning is now a division of Social Studies School Service. Founded in 1965, we take great pride in our company's wealth of experience in providing challenging and inspiring tools for educators. With our Absolute Guarantee, we fully stand behind our educational materials and welcome feedback on how we can meet your evolving needs.
