Hemispheres works with educators, school districts, and state officials to “fill in the gaps” between teacher knowledge and the set goals of curricular mandates.  As part of our efforts, we have created classroom-ready curriculum units utilizing primary source documents, area studies content, and classroom activities for middle and high school students.   

Texas’ mandated content standards, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), are closely aligned to national standards in the social studies.  However, you should feel free to adapt the activities to fit your classroom and your state standards.
