How to Improve Content Coverage

Using the “Most Aligned” Set of Courses, current course requirements can address up to 30.77% coverage of social studies topics.

The topics still lacking coverage include:

• Geographic Representations
• Human-Environment Interactions
• Diverse Perspectives
• The Economy
• 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
• Pre-Columbian and/or Ancient Civilizations
