The West is one unbroken conversation, from the agora of Athens to the workshops of Florence, about what is true, what is good, and how a people ought to live.
The Golden Thread Curriculum gives teachers and homeschooling parents what they need to help carry that conversation forward: lesson plans, primary sources, illustrations, and original maps that tell our story.
Built on the celebrated books by Allen C. Guelzo and @JamesWHankins1, from Golden Thread Academic and @Hillsdale.
Volume I, from Greece through the Renaissance, is available now, free of charge for educators and parents at goldenthreadcurriculum.com.
“Harwood disagreed with the New Deal. He did not delude himself into pretending that a majority of his countrymen, as so many do today, shared his every opinion. Standing in the minority or even alone did not bother him.”

For far too long, the American education system has failed its students. Can we better prepare our students to both thrive in the workforce and in life?
The Phoenix Principles by @JasonBedrick and @shulsie offers a bold and unifying vision for how education can renew the American spirit and sustain a free and virtuous republic for generations to come.
Through seven foundational principles, The Phoenix Principles guides policymakers, educators, and informed citizens to instill moral clarity, intelligence, and a dedication to the common good necessary for self-government.
The Phoenix Principles is available now at Encounter Books: encounterbooks.com/books/pho…

Excited to see The Phoenix Declaration brought up in a Texas Senate Education committee.
More states should follow Florida’s lead and adopt the principles as a guiding framework.
