How to Improve Content Coverage

Using the “Most Aligned” Set of Courses, current course requirements can address up to 61.54% coverage of social studies topics.

The topics still lacking coverage include:

  • Political institutions, Participation, Rules and Laws
  • European Exploration and Colonization
  • The American Revolution and Founding (1700s)
  • Growth and Expansion of the American Republic (up to 1900)
  • US History - 20th Century and Beyond

To improve content coverage, the institution or teacher preparation program may need to require additional courses for their candidates to achieve coverage across all topics. Our analysts identified the following courses to cover these topics:

  • Political institutions, Participation, Rules and Laws: POLI 1090/1097
  • European Exploration and Colonization: No applicable courses found in NCTQ's analysis
