"When the Common Core was adopted, we were told that we were not expected to broaden the amount of material being taught, but we were to add more depth. Project Archaeology gives me all sorts of ways to deepen the curriculum for my students. It’s an added bonus that I’m positive they will really enjoy learning it."

I’m truly excited about what lies ahead, and am so grateful for your collection of work that you have shared with me and other educators."
