Scholars Online Brought to you by the Choices Program

Scholars Online (http://www.choices.edu/scholarsonline) brings university scholars into secondary level classrooms. Videos of scholars who have contributed to the development of curriculum units or participated in Choices professional development programs are provided in an interview format. Designed to be used with Choices printed curricula (http://www.choices.edu/resources), these short, informative videos can be used in conjunction with student readings or with lessons that accompany each unit.

We currently have videos to supplement six of our written curriculum units, including our new edition of The US Role in the Changing World (http://www.choices.edu/usrole). Videos clips for this unit help students reflect on global changes, assess national priorities, and decide for themselves the role the United States should play in the world today. This is a great way to engage students in a range of issues being discussed by presidential candidates. Participating scholars for this unit included Joseph Cirincione from the Center for American Progress, Fernando Cardoso—former president of Brazil, Ricardo Lagos—Former President of Chile, Justine Rosenthal from The National Interest and many others.
