How to Improve Content Coverage

Using the “Most Aligned” Set of Courses, current course requirements can address up to 84.62% coverage of social studies topics.

The topics still lacking coverage include:

  • The Economy
  • Pre-Columbian and/or Ancient Civilizations

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:

  • The Economy: ECO 201
  • Pre-Columbian and/or Ancient Civilizations: HIS 105
