Quality education for all

Our goal for quality education for all

We believe in quality education for everyone, everywhere and by highlighting the issue and working with experts in the field, we can start to find ways we can all be part of the solution.

Our goal is to help researchers to share their work, and partner to find ways to break down the divides so there is equal opportunity to access quality education and participate in higher education, training and work, with a voice that is heard.  We believe everyone should have a chance to be the best they can be regardless of where they started.

Gabi Hart, Publishing Development Manager, quality education for all.

Our goals: Fairer society | Healthier lives | Responsible management | Quality education for all |  Sustainable structures and infrastructures

If you're an author, researcher, or someone who cares as much as we do about education and lifelong learning, we would love to work with you and help your research to contribute to quality education for all. Get in touch.

Using the Hollywood or History? strategy, each lesson plan offers teachers an inquiry-based approach which allows students to analyze motion pictures, television shows, documentaries, and cartoons using multiple sources.

Aims and scope

Teaching and learning through Hollywood, or commercial, film productions is anything but a new approach and has been something of a mainstay in the classroom for nearly a century.

Purposeful and effective instruction through film, however, is not problem-free and there are many challenges that accompany classroom applications of Hollywood motion pictures.

In response to the problems and possibilities associated with teaching through film, we have developed the Hollywood or History? book series.

The series consists of a collection of collaboratively developed practical, and classroom-ready lesson plans that might assist K-12 history/social studies teachers endeavouring to make effective use of film in their classrooms.

Hollywood or History

Hollywood or History is a podcast that explores the powerful intersection of film and social studies education. Hosted by educator and author Dr. Scott Roberts, each episode features interviews with contributing authors from the Hollywood or History? book series - a collection of classroom-ready lesson plans designed to help teachers critically engage students with historically themed Hollywood films.
