Order FREE Standards-Based Learning Materials

Wisconsin Public Service knows that teachers possess the power to inspire and enlighten their students. We also understand that any effort to do so requires engaging materials. That’s why we’re offering a variety of educational booklets and companion resources to help with classroom application.

These materials are free to you, but to order, you must teach in the Wisconsin Public Service service area. Please allow 2 to 4 weeks for delivery after that.

Note: Orders are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and supplies are limited.

Thank you for your interest in our educational resources. The [2023] program has closed. However, we invite you to explore our online resources, which include interactive games, downloadable activities, and more.

If you’ve ordered previously, please feel free to download the companion teacher’s guides, pre/post tests, and information on standards alignment. These resources have been developed to assist with seamless classroom application.

Check back later this year for more details on the [2023] program.
