Do You Need Additional Support Teaching Social Studies for Special Education Students?

I made full year editable curriculums for US History and World Geography that have been adapted for special education students. These full year curriculums include lessons, projects, activities, and assessments! Watch this YouTube video here

I’ve made notes, projects, activities, and assessments that have been adapted to support all students in US History and World Geography classes. Make sure all students thrive in your classroom from scaffolded teacher presentations, differentiated activities, history guided notes, and so much more! Plus, it’s been adapted to better support English language learners, students receiving special education services, and any student that needs extra help—so everyone is included in your learning environment!
