Developing the concepts and skills for today’s students to investigate, engage with, and help shape the modern world. Inspired by the rationale of the Victorian Curriculum, this engaging and accessible new series provides a framework for students to explore the shaping of the modern world and the various challenges faced by humanity today. Developed by experienced and passionate Victorian Humanities teachers, this series is strongly aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, with all curriculum content for History, Geography, Economics & Business, Civics & Citizenship clearly identified. The engaging delivery of the curriculum draws on intriguing chapter-opener stories to hook students in to each topic, and also features a visually appealing design and an extensive range of sources. Modern pedagogical practices are incorporated to give students the best opportunity to understand and investigate the processes of how our world has been shaped, including ‘Making Thinking Visible’ activities inspired by Harvard’s Project Zero’s Visible Thinking Routines. Skills and concepts are integrated throughout the chapters to enable students to make connections to their learning and support the way skills are commonly taught in context in Victorian classrooms. The wide range of activities will engage and challenge students across each topic and offer opportunities for teachers to differentiate for individual learners. A downloadable project in each chapter addresses one of the four mandatory Victorian Curriculum Capabilities. Unparalleled digital resources, compiled by a digital learning expert, provide today’s students with carefully-chosen digital content and support teachers through a powerful Learning Management System.
