Available at no charge to high school teachers in U.S. history, government, and civics

The Case Method Institute partners with high school teachers nationwide to help deliver a singularly engaging educational experience to students in U.S. history, government, and civics classrooms. At no charge, the Institute offers training in the case method—the core pedagogy used at many leading professional schools—along with access to 22 original cases from Professor Moss's acclaimed course at Harvard, “History of American Democracy.” Each case presents students with a historically rich narrative, leading up to a key decision point and posing the perennial question: “What would you do?” Led by a teacher’s use of carefully designed questions, students engage in rigorous, evidence-based discussion and debate to draw out key concepts from the case. Born as an experiment to bring the case method to high schools, the program now has a proven record in every type of classroom environment: students show not only improved academic performance—from critical thinking to content mastery—but also enhanced civic interest and engagement.

Active high school teachers of US history, government or civics are eligible to apply directly through this LINK on or before the deadline of Friday, February 16, 2024.
