nyWhere Learning System: Curriculum, Social Sciences


U.S. History II
The A+LS Social Sciences curriculum helps students understand more about their identity, their ancestors, and why current and past events are important to them. The titles for grades 1–12 fully correlate to major mastery standards, including the National Council for Social Studies Standards.

Social Sciences is a subject area that promotes the use of both cooperative and exploratory learning. The detailed maps and charts dynamically illustrate key concepts. Additionally, these maps and diagrams can be printed for use in discussion and as take-home study guides for the students.

The Social Science I-III titles have a special animated character named Globert who personally guides younger students through the A+LS lesson content and teaches them about the world and the people around them.
