CICERO Systems is pleased to add WorldView Software as part of our line of quality classroom resources as CICERO WorldView Social Studies Editions.
CICERO Systems and WorldView Software products combine to offer an inexpensive way to provide for student instruction without a printed textbook. As an interactive, workbook-style, electronic textbook, learners' responses are stored "in the cloud" and accessible at home or in school.

American Institute for History Education | |
The American Institute for History Education (AIHE) was founded in 2003 to provide history teachers with high-quality professional development programs, firmly anchored in rich historical content, along with substantive historical lessons, activities and resources to use in their classrooms. AIHE appreciates the tremendous need for teachers to have access to optimum quality historical content and more advanced resources. Study after study, and results from National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) testing, demonstrate that American students are not receiving competent history education opportunities. Both students and teachers have been subjected to banal textbooks and programs that barely skim over the crucial issues in American History.
Students need to be engaged in substantive historical content. Only through reading solid, exciting historical narratives, while being engaged in intellectually stimulating activities, and then working with primary source materials, will students grasp the essential events of American History and proficiently comprehend the crucial issues of modern society.
