What it is & what it is not
The New Course
What it is. What it’s not.
● What is the goal of this new framework?
● To offer teachers and students the opportunity for more in depth study and
analysis of world history following 1200 C.E.
● To better integrate skills and content in world history
● What has changed about the course/exam? Is this a redesign?
● This is an update to the world history course, rather than a course redesign. The
updates include:
○ Divides the course into four time periods starting at 1200 C.E.
○ The time periods are further divided into nine units of study
○ Renaming themes + the addition of a new theme
○ Clearer connections between learning objectives and specific topics of the
course
What it is. What it’s not.
● Is this Unit-based framework (correlations to the 3rd and 4th
editions) a curriculum?
● The Unit-based framework is more of a road map giving
suggestions to help you through the changes to the course than
curriculum guide
● What do I have to change?
● Two changes are (1) how you structure the course, but (2) you
have the opportunity to go more in-depth on different topics
