OGTA Educators Kit - Steve Pisanos 'The Mettle Behind the Merit'

Bring Steve Pisanos’ Mettle into Your Classroom or Group!

Few stories convey the American Dream as positively and informatively as Steve Pisanos’.  The following videos and 4-part downloadable Educator’s Kit can become a powerful part of your Civics, Social Studies or History curriculum.

Civic and Youth organizations such as (but not limited to) Civil Air Patrol, Scouts, ROTC, DECA and Boys and Girls Clubs of America are also encouraged to consider this Educator’s Kit as part of their ongoing work, too.

The Mettle Behind the Merit Educator’s kit features never-before-published photography, artwork, quick-read discussion-starters and fresh insight into what it takes to succeed.  Additional content provided by award-winning historians John Mollison, Donald Nijboer and Dan Patterson.

The goal, however, is single-minded: encourage Americans of all-ages to consider their opportunity and resolve to meet it with positive effort and optimism.

However, while supplies last, cut-out, flyable models of Steve Pisanos’ WWII Spitfire airplane are available to recognized educators and leaders, FREE.  A small fee is requested to cover postage and mailing costs.
