Build a strong foundation for tomorrow’s leaders with TCI’s Social Studies Alive! elementary program.
Students learn best when completely immersed in their learning environment. They learn best when activities are memorable. TCI integrates engaging activities, aligned with state-specific standards for all 50 states, into every unit.
With our easy-to-use lesson plans and activities, you spend less time planning and more time teaching. You can engage your students with a story, immerse your class in social studies with an inquiry activity, focus on integrating language arts, or combine features to create your own approach to instruction.
Students can’t help but love TCI’s hands-on lessons. Inquiry projects, debates, and experiential exercises are just some ways that students investigate and master key concepts.
Built-in technology guides students through multimedia and learning games while helping you grade assignments and track student progress.
Our elementary social studies curriculum ensures that educators can focus on differentiating instruction and supporting students by providing everything teachers need for success.
TCI’s elementary social studies curriculum incorporates key points from the ELA Common Core throughout our History Alive! program. As students progress each year, they climb a “staircase” of content that gradually grows more challenging in order to strengthen understanding of the topics at hand, including ideas represented in the Social Studies Common Core.
Literacy is an important component of any student’s education. That is why we have integrated it into all of our lesson-planning tools and resources in addition to ensuring that instruction meets the NCSS social studies standards.
