Thinking Nation is nonprofit with a mission to cultivate thinking citizens who are college and career ready, through a combination of innovative supplemental curriculum, technology and professional development for teachers. We focus on improving literacy through social studies, with rigorous, inquiry-based methods for learning. We believe that when students are empowered to analyze information effectively, think historically, and write persuasively, not only do they become more engaged citizens, they can better promote equity in their own lives and the world around them.
Our solution was born in the classroom of our Executive Director, at a charter school in South Los Angeles. Our vision is that all students should have access to a rigorous, inquiry-based method for learning, regardless of their zip code or economic status. Our equity-based pricing enables us to partner with schools and districts in underserved communities. Our scaffolded approach supports students and teachers in the process of learning to analyze documents, engage with materials, and constructing and writing essays beginning in middle school and continuing through high school. When these skills are cultivated in students from historically-underserved populations, there is better equity in education, from K-12 classrooms through the university campus.
