About

Welcome to SD Project HS—a website created by a teacher, for teachers, with one simple mission: to make your classroom more engaging, dynamic, and connected to the real world.

As educators, we know that teaching the fundamentals—concepts, vocabulary, definitions—is important. But we also know that true understanding happens when students are challenged to apply those ideas to real-life situations. That’s where SD Project HS comes in.

This site offers a carefully curated collection of classroom-ready case studies designed to enhance your curriculum and bring lessons to life. Developed over many years and tested with high school students, these case studies aren’t just informative—they’re proven to spark interest, conversation, and deeper learning.

Why Case Studies?

Because they work.
When students analyze real-world scenarios, they’re not just memorizing terms—they’re thinking critically, weighing ethical dilemmas, defending decisions, and engaging in meaningful debate. Suddenly, abstract ideas like "duty of care," "negligence," or "freedom of contract" become tangible, relatable, and memorable.

These case studies have consistently led to some of the most exciting moments in the classroom—moments where students are not only learning, but leading discussions, challenging each other’s ideas, and developing the kind of reasoning skills they’ll use long after the bell rings.
