Are you teaching all of world history in a single year? From prehistory to the Cold War and beyond? If so, you already know how overwhelming that can be, especially when trying to balance rigor, engagement, and pacing for on-level and honors students alike. I do love a good history survey course, but that doesn’t it isn’t without its challenges.

That’s why I created my own curriculum. It’s a flexible, comprehensive, and ever-expanding collection of resources to support high school world history teachers like you.

What Is the World History Curriculum Growing Bundle?

This growing bundle is designed for high school world history courses that span from the dawn of civilization through the 20th century. It includes engaging content, vocab and assessments, and scaffolded materials built for both on-level and honors students. And since it’s a growing bundle, you get immediate access to all current resources—and free updates for all future additions.

Right now, it includes everything you need for the first semester:
✔️ Back-to-school lessons
✔️ An 8-week Ancient History unit
✔️ A 9-week Middle Ages unit
… with early Modern and 20th-century resources already underway!
