County’s eighth grade social studies curriculum includes several content areas,
which focus on the study of World History. This course is a continuation of
where 6th Grade Ancient History left off. Through the course,
students study the Ancient Americas, Ancient Greece and Rome, Medieval Times,
and the early Renaissance. As a result of this study, students will be able to develop
values and habits which will help them become critical thinking citizens who
contribute to our democracy. In order to become critical thinking citizens who
contribute to our democracy, students need to be prepared for post-secondary
study and the 21st century workforce. To accomplish this, this
course will utilize a STEM instructional approach. STEM education is an
approach to teaching and learning that integrates the content and skills of
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Students will engage in
inquiry, logical reasoning, collaboration, and investigation through
hands-on-learning and project-based-learning experiences. For more information
