School Resources for Teachers & Librarians

We believe in the power and joy of learning

Our K-12 mission is to help students succeed in school and in life by connecting them to the curriculum-aligned digital content they need to become lifelong learners. Through an integral pairing of research and technology, Gale helps schools bridge the digital gap between the library, classroom, and home with trusted, accessible library and classroom resources to support English language arts, social studies, and so much more.

Because student success begins with educator success, we provide digital instructional materials that make it easier for educators to meet students where they are, while educators themselves prioritize their own professional growth and self-care. Today, this includes classroom products supporting everything from unfinished learning and social and emotional learning (SEL) to supporting a wide variety of educational areas, like social studies and English language arts.

Digital resources are just one part of our story. Gale offers engaging learning content like webinars, white papers, best practices guides, and more to inspire educators as they work to achieve their goals. Browse the latest from Gale and our partners.
