Content Development
QBS has a team of writers, editors, and content specialists with deep experience in social studies instruction. We take pride in creating rigorous resources that meet the needs of diverse learners
We understand the importance of delivering culturally-responsive instruction as students are making sense of the world around them, whether it’s at the primary level for young children first meeting people in their community, in the middle grades where students are sharpening their map reading, or at in a high school program, where students are participating in critical analysis as they grapple with contemporary global issues. We support your efforts to offer inviting, thought-provoking resources that look back at the past and ahead to the future.
