Looking for Help with Curriculum Implementation?

Dear Educator,

For many classroom teachers, adding more material to an already crowded curriculum can be a real challenge. Adding religious material to a social studies course can be a particular challenge. Similarly, many theology teachers might be hesitant about including economic concepts in their courses for fear of making mistakes.

If you want some assistance in meeting these challenges, The Robert and Marie Hansen Foundation would like to help.

I am available to meet with interested teachers from social studies and/or theology departments. To request on-site consultation or in-service training sessions related to Apostles & Markets, please contact me at the address listed, or simply fill out the form below. Be sure to provide your school address, administrative contact information, suggested dates, and topics of interest.
