Our approach is grounded in collaboration, expertise, and care. Here is what our partners across the country are saying about working with us.
"This is the most student engagement I've seen with source analysis. It has been awesome to see students take the ownership of the learning and be the leaders of the inquiry. "
Amanda, Social Studies Coordinator
"Source Squads has been a powerful addition to my U.S. History classroom. I’ve seen noticeable growth in students’ literacy skills, historical thinking, and willingness to engage with complex texts."
—Daniel, Classroom Teacher
"Source Squads addresses two important goals of social studies instruction - disciplinary literacy and collaborative student talk. The protocol provides a clear framework to guide students as they work together to dig into evidence."
Lisa, Social Studies Coordinator
"This has been an especially helpful protocol in my AP African American Studies classroom to get them to think critically about the sources in order to come to an evidence-based conclusion."
Jenn, Classroom Teacher
"Working with Source Squads was a game changer for our museum! Erin and Andrew’s deep knowledge of curriculum, students' needs, trends in the field, and endless creativity makes the final product a premier program."
—-Tom Guiler, Director of Museum Affairs, Oneida Community Mansion House
