SLATE works with Harvard Kennedy School faculty to develop original curricular materials including cases, video, multimedia cases, simulations, issue briefs, concept notes, etc. Our team includes learning designers, professional case writers, and a video producer, all of whom are skilled at crafting high-quality active learning materials that foster critical thinking in the classroom.
We provide end-to-end service, from initial concept to original research, writing and editing services, quote clearance, teaching plans, and even dry runs for new materials.

Harvard Kennedy School cases are used in 1,000+ institutions by individuals from 114 countries.
All of our custom curricular materials are published and globally distributed through the HKS Case Program, the largest collection of cases and curricular materials geared toward training public leaders.
The 2,000+ documents in the collection include cases, simulations, online modules, issue briefs and concept notes. Most of the recent materials come with a teaching plan.
For more information on using cases or developing custom curricular materials, we invite HKS faculty to visit us on KNet (password required).
