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:

• Diverse Perspectives
• Political institutions, Participation, Rules and Laws
• Economic Principles and Exchange
• The Economy
• European Exploration and Colonization
• The American Revolution and Founding (1700s)

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:

• Diverse Perspectives: No applicable courses found in NCTQ's analysis
• Political institutions, Participation, Rules and Laws: POLS 202
• Economic Principles and Exchange: ECON 203
• The Economy: ECON 203
• European Exploration and Colonization: No applicable courses found in NCTQ's analysis
