Teach Your Way With Flexible Pathways

Networks enables flexible pathways for teaching and learning. Planning guides offer a custom path to use the resources – print, digital, inquiry, or project-based - so you can teach your way.

  • Inquiry Path: Encourages students to engage with the essential question by analyzing primary sources, reporting findings, and taking action.
  • Teacher-Directed Path: Supports teachers by providing interactive, differentiated activities and a linear path through the content. Assessments wrap-up the lessons and chapters.
  • Project Path: Encourages students to engage with the essential question by creating a product or project, often developing the skills of collaboration and teamwork.
