School Educators

Because student success begins with educator success, we provide digital instructional materials that make it easier for teachers to meet students where they are, while educators themselves experience professional growth and prioritize their own self-care. Today, this includes helping districts maximize Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds while supporting everything from unfinished learning and social and emotional learning to prioritizing equity and inclusion goals. The following are top subscription databases that K-12 students and educators can access in the classroom, library, or at home. 

Gale In Context: For Educators

Teachers need support, too. Building on the foundation of Gale In Context student databases, Gale In Context: For Educators merges quality, standards-aligned content with aligned lesson plans and instructional tools. Combined with on-demand training, For Educators empowers teachers to save time, collaborate, and offer equitable and personalized learning opportunities across any distance.

It also helps teachers meet students where they are, while offering equitable access to standards-aligned content that differentiates instruction.

Gale In Context: Middle School

Middle school students’ needs are very different than those of elementary students, which means the way they access and use content has to keep up. Gale In Context: Middle School supports the developing information literacy and critical thinking skills of middle school students. Kids are inspired by how quickly they can navigate and find the answers they need—anytime and anywhere.
