How to Improve Content Coverage

Using the “Most Aligned” Set of Courses, current course requirements can address up to 69.23% coverage of social studies topics.

The topics still lacking coverage include:

  • World History - 20th Century and Beyond
  • Geographic Representations
  • Human-Environment Interactions
  • Economic Principles and Exchange

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: HIST 1312
  • Geographic Representations: No applicable courses found in NCTQ's analysis
