New York Regents - Social Studies

Comprehensive coverage of the New York Social Studies Framework content and skills

Each chapter focuses on a Key Idea from the New York Framework, describes the overarching themes and enduring issues, and provides streamlined content and key terms. Standards-focused lessons include analyzing a primary source, historical content and context presented in concise language, questions for close reading, and primary source activities. Chapters end with stimulus-based multiple-choice and short-essay questions mirroring the Regents exam.

Students are prompted to “think like historians” using Social Studies Practices, analyze primary sources, and use textual evidence in their written responses.

Developed with the guidance of New York teachers and administrators, these concise and accessible resources include the essential content, key primary sources, and stimulus-based questions required for the courses and Regents exams.
