Traverse is a comprehensive social studies program for grades 6-12 with standards-driven and skill-based instruction, student-friendly learning opportunities, embedded differentiation, and effective instructional routines.
Traverse courses deliver rich content through inquiry-based assignments, projects, class activities, assessments, videos, and a diverse and expansive source library all within one platform.
Each Traverse course includes:
- Innovative Digital Platform: Traverse is different from traditional social studies programs because it is digital-forward. Rather than a supplement to a physical textbook, Traverse is designed with our digital environment in mind to promote active and engaged learning. The digital version of Traverse includes every student- and teacher-facing feature of the program.
- Student Source and Skill Companion: the Student Source and Skill Companion is a pared down print resource for students designed to enhance digital instruction. It includes concise chapter summaries, vocabulary support, engaging skill lessons, and every primary and secondary source in the course. This student edition is carefully crafted to support learning, making complex concepts accessible and relatable.
- Teacher Resource Companion: Your playbook for implementation, the Teacher Resource Companion is the print teacher edition that includes pacing suggestions, discussion questions, and sourcing details.
