Teachers
“Developing student capacities for critical thinking and dispassionate analysis of complex issues makes them more effective, informed and demagogue-proof participants in civil society – whether they are addressing UrbanPlan’s land use challenges or health care or immigration issues. UrbanPlan is the most powerful and engaging vehicle I have found to accomplish this objective.”
Shannon Corcoran, World History/Geography/Economics Teacher, Corona del Sol High School
Is UrbanPlan right for you and your students?
Every teacher teaching UrbanPlan has asked the same questions you are probably
asking yourself now:
- Can my students perform optimally on their standardized and/or AP tests if I incorporate UrbanPlan into my curriculum?
- Will the value of the student takeaway be commensurate with the 15 class hours the program requires?
- I teach 3 to 5 classes a day. I have no time to recruit or manage volunteers and no budget for any materials. Can a real teacher in a real school do this?
These teachers, including those in some of the country’s most demanding high schools, have answered “Yes” to these questions. Additionally, over 98% of all teachers who introduce UrbanPlan into their curriculum continue teaching the program.
