Ignite! Learning has teamed up with Promethean through the Boost Student Achievement with Heritage project to offer one-of-a-kind resources to help teachers enlighten their students about their heritage and the heritage of others.
We developed eight flipcharts specifically designed to showcase the diverse cultural and historical fabric of America in an engaging and academically rigorous way. Teachers can use the flipcharts in the classroom to reach a variety of learning styles with Ignite! Learning's signature of engaging multimedia, combined with frequent and varied assessments that are integrated with Promethean's ActivExpression. Ignite!
