Our team of top university professors and high school educators take the pain out of planning lessons so you can focus on teaching them.
Our custom lesson plans, video lectures, and curated suite of source materials are designed to bring history to life — for any student in any classroom.
History Owls combines cutting-edge pedagogy with findings from psychology and neuroscience to maximize a teacher’s reach and hold on their students’ attention.
No other curriculum service offers material directly from the front lines of academic research. The lessons you teach with History Owls bring the discipline of History up to date.
That’s why it's important to seek out a variety of voices, stories, and perspectives. We work to ensure history curricula include perspectives from a wide range of racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds.
Our courses focus on analyses of sources, especially how the biases of primary source authors affect their narratives. These skills transfer to media literacy in the current day.
