Textbooks
We the People textbooks are developed by the Center for Civic Education to aid in the teaching of the curriculum. We the People textbooks are available at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, in sets of 30 student books and 1 teacher’s guide per set.
The Center also created online E-Books for each level, ideal for online or hybrid learning or 1:1 teaching. E-books integrate not just the text of the book, but utilize interactive assessments, embedded vocabulary terms, text-to-speech, language translations, and more. Click here for guidance on creating an ActivelyLearn Account and access the sample lessons from the E-Book. The E-Book is web-based, allowing ease of use on desktop and laptop computers as well as phones and tablets.
Current editions of each level of book are listed below.
The Indiana Bar Foundation is no longer subsidizing the cost of textbooks for Indiana teachers. Orders for physical textbooks should be placed directly with our textbook vendor, Gibbs Smith Education. To receive a quote or more information, please submit a request at this link: Request a trial.
