How to Improve Content Coverage

Using the “Most Aligned” Set of Courses, current course requirements can address up to 53.85% coverage of social studies topics.

The topics still lacking coverage include:

  • World History - 20th Century and Beyond
  • Geographic Representations
  • Human-Environment Interactions
  • Political institutions, Participation, Rules and Laws
  • Economic Principles and Exchange
  • The Economy

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:

  • World History - 20th Century and Beyond: AMH 2010
  • Geographic Representations: WOH2012
  • Human-Environment Interactions: WOH2012
  • Political institutions, Participation, Rules and Laws: SLS2281
  • Economic Principles and Exchange: ECO 2023
  • The Economy: ECO 2013
