Exploring a Pilot

A pilot with Source Squads provides several teachers with the resources to try one of our learning strategies.

The pilot is a simple opportunity to see what our strategies looks like in your community and how they can help support reading in Social Studies.

Close Reading with Source Squads Learning Strategy

What does the pilot look like?

Participating teachers receive the following, shipped and shared directly:

  • Classroom set of our Source Squads Learning Strategy

  • 2-3 lessons from our collection of lessons and sources

  • Teacher training video for prep, teaching, and assessing the learning strategy

  • Classroom walkthrough video that guides the class through the learning strategy with student examples and exemplars

Supervisors only need to provide interested teachers, while we take the lead in any needed support.

What will you see?

Through our pilot, schools and districts observe how Source Squads provides a structure for reading in Social Studies.

Students engage directly with each other, critically examine perspectives for purpose, and look for answers to inquiry-driven questions in rich texts.
