Welcome to Scott Foresman Social Studies! Today more than ever before educators are challenged with making a difference in our student’s lives - but what does that mean? At Pearson, we believe it means challenging ourselves every day to make the world better, in small ways and large. It's important that we show our students what it means to be citizens of this nation - that respect, caring, responsibility, fairness, courage, and honesty are the pillars that make us strong. With rich content that captures students' imaginations and built-in reading and vocabulary instruction, your students will not only be learning, they'll be preparing for success on high-stakes state and national tests.

Like you we know that time is a precious commodity these days with packed schedules, testing requirements, and more. The newest addition to our product line can help you make the most of the time you have. The Quick Planning Guide – developed in conjunction with Grant Wiggins, President of Authentic Education and author of Understanding By Design – gives you the best of both worlds: planning suggestions to make the most of your time, and a focus on the Essential Questions that will drive student understanding.

Scott Foresman Social Studies helps you make a difference.
