Welcome to World History

The World History course will address six (6) periods in the study of World History, with a key focus of study from the mid 15th century to present. The standards of this course are grouped in a way that reflects accepted periodization by historians. The learning standards of this course have been written to focus around a basic core of chronologically-organized periods and events in history in order to have a set of learning standards that can be reasonably taught and learned with some depth and not just memorization of facts, within the time available for classroom instruction. However, local districts and teachers are encouraged to elaborate on what is included here, to add topics that they feel are important, and to organize material into Concept-based Units of study.
