What are teachers saying about the Jacaranda History Alive series?

  •  

    “Jacaranda is clearly written and covers all topics, skills and understandings thoroughly. The tasks also have a great range of resources to refer to and add breadth and depth to the material already included. It also allows for ease of differentiating tasks.”
