My Nonprofit Reviews

I teach debate and project-based learning to high school students with special needs. Beside holding their interest, the biggest challenge with this population is that their skills do not always align with their intellectual abilities. Many are very capable thinkers, but poor readers, or vice versa. This means I have to create most of my own curriculum since most pre-made packages just don't suit them. I use ProCon.org whenever I want them to think deeply about a complex issue. It is organized in a way they can easily navigate, and the language is plain enough that they can manage to understand the ideas even with low reading levels. It also helps me relieve my concerns about injecting my own bias into their education. Since I am usually passionate about one side of an issue, I tend to know more facts and resources on that side. ProCon allows me to give them a higher quality, engaging education. I'm so glad that it is unbiased and free!
