Designed for high school. Below is every Nevadastandard these courses cover: the exact code, the standard's own words, and the lesson that covers it. Where we only cover part of a standard, it says so, and says which part.

  • We mapped this ourselves. This alignment was done by Learn.WitUS against the published standards. It has not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by Nevada's education authority or by anyone else.
  • Every code was fetched, then transcribed word for word. Each framework below shows the date its codes and text were retrieved from the publisher.
  • Standards get revised.A code can be renumbered or its wording changed without notice, and some states publish more than one live edition of the same document. Confirm anything you file against your own jurisdiction's current requirements, using the source links below.
  • We would rather claim less. Where the courses only partly cover a standard, this page says partially covered and explains the gap. Standards we considered and could not honestly claim are listed at the bottom, with the reasons.

Nevada Academic Content Standards for Social Studies — Grade 9-12 U.S. History (1877-Present)

Nevada Academic Content Standards for Social Studies, Revised September 2018 · Grade 9-12 U.S. History (1877-Present) · Nevada Department of Education (NDE) / Nevada State Board of Education · retrieved 2026-07-19

Nevada's Grade 9-12 U.S. History course (1877-Present), coded SS.9-12.US.<n>, spans the Gilded Age through the present. The BVC labor, migration, civil-rights, and trade history maps to its reform-movement, resistance, migration, and economic-policy standards. Nevada's own Nevada-history standards (SS.9-12.US.20-22), the war/diplomacy standards, and the identity/contributions standards are not claimed (see notClaimed). Transcribed verbatim from the NDE 2018 Social Studies Standards.

  • SS.9-12.US.16

    Partially covered
    Interpret events from a variety of historical and cultural perspectives, including but not limited to: suffragettes, civil rights activists, nationalists, progressives, political activists, immigrant groups.

    Covered by

    • · Ep 4 · Whose Voice Tells the Story, Beckford (1790) against Equiano (1789) and Mary Prince (1831) on the same plantation world
    • · Ep 3 · Two Ways of Seeing a Bean
    • · Ep 5 · Two Ways of Knowing
    • · Ep 18 · Whose Voice
    • · The Great Migration, Lesson 11 · Politics & civil rights

    What we do and don't cover: Partial: events are interpreted from multiple perspectives through the “Whose Voice” method and the Great Migration's civil-rights politics. The standard's specific list of actors (suffragettes, progressives) is not each covered.

  • SS.9-12.US.26

    Partially covered
    Examine how and why diverse groups have been denied equality and opportunity, both institutionally and informally.

    Covered by

    • · The Great Migration, Lesson 2 · The Jim Crow South: what people were fleeing
    • · The Great Migration, Lesson 12 · The long shadow, and the return
    • · The Great Migration, Lesson 11 · Politics & civil rights

    What we do and don't cover: Partial: institutional denial of equality is taught through Jim Crow and its long shadow and the push factors of the Great Migration. A comprehensive survey across all diverse groups is not.

  • SS.9-12.US.41

    Partially covered
    Analyze how diffusion of ideas, technologies, and cultural practices have influenced migration and immigration patterns and the distribution of human population.

    Covered by

    • · The Great Migration, Lesson 4 · Routes and railroads: the three streams
    • · The Great Migration, Lesson 5 · Arrival: Chicago, Detroit, New York, and the Pacific Northwest
    • · The Great Migration, Lesson 9 · Faith, family & mutual aid
    • · The Great Migration · every lesson carries a primary-source pointer to its real archive
    • · The Great Migration, Lesson 5 · Arrival (the Philadelphia “500% growth” claim, checked against the raw census figures it fails)
    • · The Great Migration, Lesson 6 · The Black press as engine: the Chicago Defender
    • · The Great Migration, Lesson 7 · The Harlem Renaissance & the New Negro

    What we do and don't cover: Partial: internal migration and population redistribution are taught in depth through the Great Migration — its streams and arrival, its primary sources, and the Harlem Renaissance it made possible. International immigration patterns are not the focus.

What we don't claim

A standards page is only worth reading if the omissions are honest too. We looked at these and left them out:

  • Mathematics — nothing. This catalog does no mathematics instruction, so it meets no Nevada Academic Content Standard for mathematics.
  • Science — one partial claim, via the shared NGSS file. Nevada adopted the NGSS in February 2014 as the Nevada Academic Content Standards for Science, so our one honest science claim — HS-ESS3-1, partial — comes through the shared NGSS mapping with the limit stated on the entry. There is no laboratory work, investigation, or modelling in this catalog, and we will not claim more.
  • Nevada's own Nevada-history and civics detail that no single code captures. The Civics & Economics and U.S. History courses each carry Nevada-history standards (SS.9-12.CE.18/19, SS.9-12.US.20-22). CE.18 and CE.19 host the flagship as partial, but the Nevada Civics course teaches more of Nevada's own structure than any one code captures — the “None of These Candidates” ballot option, the biennial 120-day Legislature, the two-election amendment rule, the Gaming Control Board and Gaming Commission, the no-income-tax structure, and Carson City's consolidated city-county status. US.20-22 (Nevada's history and the evolution of Nevada's economy from 1877) are Nevada-specific history the catalog does not teach.
  • The political-media standards. SS.9-12.CE.30 and SS.9-12.CE.31 (the roles of U.S. media in shaping policy and political discourse, and the role of special-interest groups, lobbyists, and PACs), and SS.9-12.US.34 (the effects of media in shaping public perception and policies), are political-media and interest-group analysis. Our media-literacy course is consumer protection — reading ads and claims for omission and fallacy — not political-media analysis, so we do not claim these; the source-evaluation skill they share is claimed instead under the inquiry standards SS.9-12.CE.3 and SS.9-12.CE.5.
  • The disciplinary-skill and civic-disposition standards we checked and rejected. The disciplinary-skill standards that ask students to construct compelling/supporting questions, construct and present their own arguments, participate in rigorous academic discussions, and take deliberative action (SS.9-12.CE.1, .2, .4, .6-.12, and their US/WH equivalents) are procedures the courses exercise but do not deliver as a unit. On the content side, the Civics & Economics standards on political identity and ideology, founding-document interpretation over time, international relations, gerrymandering and redistricting, political behavior of population centers, immigration's effect on politics, and comparative political systems (SS.9-12.CE.13, .15-.17, .20, .21, .25, .26, .34, .37-.42), and the National Economy / Financial Literacy standards (SS.9-12.CE.45-.50, all of SS.9-12.FL) are not genuinely taught, so we do not claim them.
  • Most World History & Geography and U.S. History standards. The World History & Geography standards not mapped above (SS.9-12.WH.13-16, .18-25, .27-36, .39, .40) and the U.S. History standards not mapped above (SS.9-12.US.13, .15, .17-25, .28-42) are content or historical-thinking standards the courses do not exercise cleanly enough to claim. Where the catalog's globalization content overlaps SS.9-12.WH.40 and SS.9-12.US.42, it is claimed once under the closest fit (CE.53 / US.45) rather than padded across every near-duplicate.
  • The AI-literacy ladder, the language courses, and Learning How to Learn — deferred, not denied. Nevada's closest frameworks (Computer Science, World Languages) have not been fetched and verified yet. Our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so these courses carry no Nevada claims this pass.
