Special Report

United We Stand

Beyond September 11

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, stand as a turning point in United States history. Our nation's response has included significant changes in both foreign and domestic policy. As classroom teachers, you are at the forefront of helping students understand the impact of these changes and how they relate to the core values upon which our nation's heritage of unity is founded. We at Pearson Education are proud to offer you this Special Report as an expression of our commitment to support you in developing responsible citizens.
