LEARNING LADDER:
NEXT LEVEL LEARNING

GOOD PROGRESS

Every History and Geography chapter begins with a LEARNING LADDER: A developmental skills progression written in student-friendly language. Students can track their progress up the LEARNING LADDER to demonstrate their progress in essential History and Geography skills.

GOOD SKILLS

Good Humanities provides a skills bridge from middle school History and Geography to upper-level studies. This section is designed for quick reference and includes worked examples and annotated sample answers. A separate Geography Fieldwork chapter focuses on this critical skill.

THE RESOURCE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR

GOOD TEACHING AND LEARNING

You told us that your two biggest concerns were ‘timetable squeeze’ and finding a resource that values skills and concepts over content. We listened and we created Good Humanities for YOU!

GOOD ASSESSMENT

Every History and Geography chapter ends with a MASTERCLASS. Here students can show their progress by responding to activities at one or more levels of the LEARNING LADDER.

CURATED TO MATCH YOUR TIMETABLE

GOOD HISTORY & GEOGRAPHY

Stunning visual content, primary and secondary sources, maps, graphs and timelines are combined with brand new content to engage and educate your students. Skills are kept at the forefront with differentiated LEARNING LADDER questions on each spread and a link to a HOW-TO page to further scaffold each skill. First Nations content is presented with authenticity and accuracy.

GOOD CIVICS & CITIZENSHIP and ECONOMICS & BUSINESS

You don’t need to teach standalone Civics & Citizenship or Economics & Business units to cover the curriculum! Good Humanities has been engineered with a simpler and better solution. A Civics & Citizenship or Economics & Business lesson appears in all Geography and History chapters so you can meaningfully cover multiple learning outcomes in the one lesson.
