Source Squads provides collaborative learning frameworks to grow historical literacy skills in K-12 learners.

Beginning with our flagship framework, Source Squads, we have developed a series of strategies that emphasize historical thinking, academic dialogue, and access for all learners.

Though applicable to any set of historical materials, Source Squads provides a number of different curriculum featuring lessons on a variety of historical topics.

Lessons can be used with any Source Squads Learning Framework. They contain a number of instructional materials including our Universal Source Material, which provides supports for all learners as they analyze documentary evidence.

Source Squads Learning Frameworks allow for the deliberate teaching of historical literacy skills and give students the opportunity for growth.

Through the use of Source Squads Learning Frameworks consistently, students become more familiar and comfortable with each step of the historical thinking process.
