Celebrating 50 years, the Great Books Foundation's
K-12 programs align with the new National Common
Core State Standards by combining the Shared InquiryTM
method of learning and a variety of complex and
rigorous literature. The Foundation is the gold standard
for teaching critical thinking using shared inquiry and
applying it to reading, discussion, and writing.
Our Program of Professional Learning, with its
unique emphasis on higher-level questioning and our
dedication to supporting teachers over time, helps
teachers teach critical thinking, through complex texts,
more effectively across the curriculum. We offer face-toface
and online professional development.
Our professional learning offering is one of only five that
is endorsed by Learning Forward, formerly the National
Staff Development Council, in all grades K-12.
