How to Get Started Grades K–12 Great for Students and Teachers What Is the Great Books Foundation?

The Great Books Foundation provides outstanding classroom materials and inspiring professional development. We help students get the most out of reading and interacting with their teachers and classmates, while providing instruction and support in Shared Inquiry, a method of learning that gives teachers the approach they need to help their students succeed. In Shared Inquiry, students—guided by their teacher—explore fiction and nonfiction texts by discussing open-ended questions and sharing responses and insights. In schools that use our classroom materials and method of teaching and learning, students consider important ideas, discover how these ideas have shaped events of the past, and learn the critical thinking skills that will prepare them for the future.

Teachers who use Great Books K–12 programs: Students who participate in Great Books learn to: • Use great questions to spur deep thinking • Read and understand texts more completely • Engage students through interpretive activities • Listen to others’ ideas and Shared Inquiry discussion • Confidently state their own opinions and back • Use inquiry-based instruction throughout the them up with evidence from the text curriculum • Express ideas in writing
