Together, We Build Careers
At Goodheart-Willcox, we take our mission seriously. Since 1921, we have been serving the career and
technical education (CTE) community. Our employee-owners are driven to deliver exceptional learning
solutions to CTE students to help prepare them for careers. Using educators’ wisdom and our expertise,
we have designed content and tools that will help students achieve success. We begin with theory and
applied content based upon a strong foundation of accepted standards and curriculum. To that base, we
add student-focused learning features and tools designed to help students make connections between
knowledge and skills. We support our instructor with time-saving tools that help them plan, present,
assess, and engage students with traditional and digital activities and assets. Because society is in a
transition between print to digital, we want to provide the tools and content in any format you need. Our
integrated learning solution products come in a variety of digital and online formats and we provide
economical bundles so you can select the right product—print, digital, and online mix for your classroom.
Student-focused Curated Content
Goodheart-Willcox believes that student-focused content should be built from standards and/
or accepted curriculum coverage. Our authors and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are experts in
their fi eld and give considerable thought to the best ways to present content: for some it may be a
building block approach with attention devoted to a logical teaching progression; for others it may
be logical content presentation in small, focused lessons. We call on industry experts and teachers
from across the country to review and comment on our content, presentation, and pedagogy. Finally,
in our refi nement of curated content, our editors are immersed in content checking, securing, and
sometimes creating fi gures that convey key information, and revising language and pedagogy.
