The lessons can also be used in economics and history. I have used many of their different curriculum and the students get really involved! They have curriculum for all grade levels.
3. Education Week Teacher https://www.edweek.org/tm/index.html
This is a great resource for teachers to stay up to date with recent news and happenings in the Education profession. They also have resources for lesson planning and new ideas.
