Controversy is a Good Thing:
Reviewing, Revising, Expanding
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
The Controversy is a Good Thing project uses Library of Congress primary sources, Restorative Justice practices, fiction and non-fiction literature, and the ten elements of the Dignity Index to create elementary-level Circle Script Toolkits and secondary-level Micro Inquiry Design Model units.
Final versions of the toolkits and micro IDMs are scheduled for release in late fall 2026. Please check back then.
