High school social studies should be rigorous and engaging. Investigate: World History: Early Civilizations to Present delivers rigorous, standards-aligned instruction that empowers teachers to lead purposeful lessons and students to take ownership of their learning.
Investigate gives every stakeholder a solid instructional foundation:
- Teachers: Flexible ready-to-teach lessons that amplify their strengths

Teachers

Leaders
Coherence and confidence.
Students
Critical thinking and communication.
Investigate benefits everyone: Teachers save time and have room to make the lessons their own; both teachers and leaders get a clear, consistent framework and assessment system; and students get their hands on resources that put them in the driver’s seat.
Less Prep & More Impact
Each course includes 12 units and 72 Tier 1 lessons that follow a clear and consistent format:
- Engage & Connect
- Deliver New Content
- Assess Student Mastery
- Close the Lesson
This intentional design reduces prep time, supports coherent instruction across classrooms, and keeps students focused on what matters most.
The 72-lesson structure is built to cover about 80% of the school year, covering all the relevant topics and standards while leaving room for additional initiatives.
Resources That Build Ownership
The Student Resource Book supports active learning. It includes:
- Lesson-related texts
- Historical and contemporary visuals
- A variety of detailed maps and charts
- Graphic organizers and authentic assessments
At the end of every unit, Investigative Projects give students opportunities to apply their knowledge. Students take on real-world roles—researchers, analysts, and decision-makers—to connect history to today and build a portfolio of work they’re proud to share.
Consistent instruction. Real growth. Shared success.
Assessment & Leadership Support
Assessment in Investigate is designed to support growth. Authentic checks for understanding are embedded within lessons and unit-level projects, so teachers can see what students know and adjust in real time.
With the assessment system, educators can easily build formative and summative assessments using a searchable bank of 500+ items.
Leaders will appreciate Investigate’s consistent lesson design and embedded strategies, which offer a common playbook for walkthroughs and coaching—supporting coherence across Georgia schools while preserving teacher voice and choice.
