Poughkeepsie City School District

The Middle School Social Studies department uses McGraw Hill's Networks subscription and textbooks. It is an interactive History curriculum provided by McGraw Hill, aligned to ELA and Next Generation Learning Standards. 

"Social studies are more than dots on a map and dates on a timeline. It’s where we’ve been and where we’re going."

McGraw Hill Networks is a full curriculum for Social Studies. It is rigorous, age-appropriate, provides diverse perspectives, integrates primary sources, and makes relevant connections. 

It is also project-based and provides inquiry-based activities to ignite curiosity and facilitate high-order thinking. This resource supports students' abilities to analyze sources, cite evidence, and make evidence-based claims. It is also customizable and provides teachers with strategies for differentiation, support for our ENL students, and overall relevant content and skills aligned to the Next Generation standards.
