Looking for a government course that is clear, thorough, and easy to teach?

Introducing Good Government! 

A Government & Civics Course with Professor Larry Schweikart

From the creator of The Wild World of History and its award-winning curricula comes Good Government, a course designed to help students understand how American government actually works, why it matters, and how constitutional principles shape their lives today.

Understanding our American government requires more than memorizing branches and court cases. Students need historical context, constitutional foundations, and a clear explanation of how power actually operates in the real world.

In this engaging one-semester course, historian Professor Larry walks students through the principles, institutions, and debates that shape American government today. Drawing on decades of teaching experience and historical scholarship, Professor Larry explains the structure of government, the role of citizens, and the ideas that have defined American political life.

The result is a course that equips students to understand the system they will soon participate in as citizens.

Government is one of the most important subjects a student can study before graduation, but for many parents, it can also feel like one of the hardest courses to teach confidently.

You may be asking:

• Will my student really understand how American government works?
• Is this enough for a full high school credit?
• Can I teach government without spending hours preparing?
  

And not to mention, many government classes taught in schools today are incredibly boring despite the fact that government should be one of the most relevant subjects they study before adulthood.

Good Government was designed to change all that.

This government and civics course gives high school students (and interested adults) a clear, engaging understanding of the American government through concise video instruction, structured assignments, and complete teaching materials.

Professor Larry teaches not only how government is structured, but why it works the way it does, how it developed historically, and why citizens must understand it now more than ever.
