History-Social science Standards Intro

 

Grade 9:: World History

*There are no set standards for History-Social Science in the 9th Grade.  The State Board of Education, however, HIGHLY recommends to all school districts that an appropriate History-Social Science experience/course is offered to students in the 9th Grade.  In VUSD, this suggestion has been heeded; thus the 10th grade year of "World History" has been divided in half.  In 9th Grade students study the Non-European aspects of World History and in 10th grade, students focus on European history.
