US History and Government Library $399 $99
PE Unlimited is a subscription based service that provides 24/7 access to download any of our digital products and access to all of our online activities including Daily Warm-Ups, Current Event Lesson Plans and Insider Access to our History Tournaments.
Subscriptions last for one year. During that year, you are free to download as many books as you want and they are yours forever.
How will I benefit from Unlimited Downloads?
The best answer to that question was inspired by one of our customers:
“I told our principal I would throw the hundreds of hours of work and all the other resources (at least three thousand dollars worth) in the trash for your products. Your activities are just what I have been looking for!”
Performance Unlimited gives you 12 months of Unlimited Downloads to our entire library of products.
Let me address a couple of questions you might be asking:
- Is there a limit on the number of products I download? Nope! If you want to download all the books onto your hard-drive or a flash-drive, be our guests. You may use them forever!
- Do I need special software? Nope! Most computers already have a program that can read .pdf documents. If yours doesn't, you can download one for free at adobe.com.
- Can I use these products for all my students? Absolutely. Just print or photocopy the pages you need and pass them out to your students. If you would like you can even share digital files with students.
- Can I share with other teachers? No. At this price, we must ask that these products only be used by one teacher. But we do have a school wide program for only $399 (trust me this is outrageous too).
