World History for Us All is a FREE, Web-based curriculum that has two major elements: a logical conceptual framework of guiding ideas, objectives, rationales, themes and historical periods; and a rich selection of units, lessons, activities, primary documents and other resources linked to the overarching conceptual structure. The curriculum proposes the idea that humankind as a whole has a history to be investigated and that a world history course may be more than a study of various “cultures,” each disconnected from the others. The framework’s unified chronology organizes the human past into nine Big Eras, each encompassing changes around the globe. The curriculum does not use civilizations as the main units of history, but developments within major societies are richly explored.
