New York's lessons are big. Let's make them memorable.
Covering New York standards means exploring deep local history—from the governance of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy to the Harlem Renaissance—for a room of students who don’t all start at the same baseline.
BrainPOP turns these complex topics into conversations everyone can join.

Excelsior skills for New York graduates
BrainPOP covers every major goal of New York’s Portrait of a Graduate framework—from building a foundation for critical thinking to being reflective and future-focused.
Movies and activities build the background knowledge that makes tough topics easier to understand and discuss.
Once a student understands a concept, they can defend it, question it, build on it, and even innovate—that's the habit New York wants every graduate to have.
