Social Science

Skyline Social Science is a curriculum that incorporates proven and powerful social science practices that support student engagement in inquiry-based instruction. The materials are designed to ensure culturally sustaining pedagogical approaches to learning, including how the essential questions (EQs), enduring understandings (EUs), and content are designed to reflect the cultures, identities and lived experiences of students.

Courses offer opportunities for students to identify, gather, analyze, categorize, and evaluate information from multiple, culturally relevant sources/documents while considering the origin, reliability, point of view, authority, structure, context, and corroborative value of the sources.

Additionally, Skyline social science materials provide teachers with strategies for meeting the needs of a range of learners so the content is accessible to all learners. This includes UDL (Universal Design for Learning), social and emotional learning, and English learner supports.
