Designed to balance the need to cover key, standards-based government topics and motivate students to learn, United States Government: Principles in Practice © 2012 provides an innovative program that actively involves students in the learning process. The program provides content relevant to their everyday lives. Print and electronic materials engage all types of learners, while a well-structured narrative ensures that students will understand and apply principles of government. Collaborative hands-on activities, interactive simulations, and high-interest debate topics based on real-world case studies build problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills. Making our political system meaningful to all students, United States Government encourages responsible participation.
