The
SYSTEMIC, INTEGRATIVE APPROACH
to teaching social
studies:
Instead of giving students disjointed facts
to remember, we show them causal
relationships. We
keep asking "why?" and making
connections.
- Why did towns grow quickly in Europe
after the year
 1000?
- Why did Ancient Egyptians have a central
government and a god-king?
- Why do we have so many Germanic
traditions in our Christmas celebrations?
- Why where Muslim people so educated in
the first millennium?
- Why was there a Renaissance?
- Why should we care about history?
- Why are Canadian provinces stronger
united than divided?
- Why does Canada need to be competitive?
- Why is Canada stronger in some areas
than in others?
Our books teach students to look for causes
and to make connections and predictions. This
helps students learn. Students walk away with
something they will keep. We use powerful,
simple, easy to remember frameworks in all our
books.
