Targeted Instruction Starts with a Strategic Roadmap

When schools partner with TeachSmart, they don’t just receive high-quality resources—they gain a full instructional roadmap. From the very start, you’ll have access to a customized pacing calendar that maps out the entire year of U.S. History instruction from 1492 to 1877, ensuring:

✔️ Every era is taught with intention and clarity

✔️ Standards are covered in a logical, student-friendly flow

✔️ Teachers always know what’s next—and how to teach it

By the end of the year, your team will have taught U.S. History with confidence, coverage, and consistency.

Map the Year with Confidence

Stay on track and ahead of schedule with a customizable Year-at-a-Glance Pacing Calendar. This roadmap lays out every era from 1492–1877, helping educators plan strategically and ensure the full curriculum is covered with time to spare. Built-in space allows teachers to plug in district holidays, testing days, and key campus events—making it easy to align instruction while staying flexible. With this tool, teachers can confidently pace toward meaningful coverage, review, and state assessment readiness.

Planning Made Simple

With TeachSmart, you'll gain access to both macro and micro planning tools—from a full Year-at-a-Glance pacing guide down to daily instructional lessons. Each era is broken down into structured lessons, so you’ll always know exactly what to teach and for how long. For example, the Exploration and Colonization era is mapped out across 17 days of ready-to-use instruction.

Stay organized, stay on pace, and teach with total confidence—start to finish.

Your Daily Blueprint for Success

Each instructional day comes with its own comprehensive Lesson Guide—your everything-you-need tool for purposeful teaching. From instructional implications and tested vocabulary to STAAR-aligned objectives and activities, every detail is laid out for you. No guesswork. Just confident, focused instruction that moves students forward.

Plan with Purpose, Teach with Precision

Effective instruction starts with informed planning. With access to historical STAAR data and assessment trends, teachers can internalize lessons with intention—zeroing in on what students truly need. These tools empower educators to connect standards, anticipate misconceptions, and align instruction with tested expectations. It’s not just planning—it’s strategic, data-driven preparation.

Language for Learning: STAAR-Targeted Vocabulary

Academic success starts with the right words. Each era of U.S. History includes a curated vocabulary bank featuring both academic and non-academic terms aligned to STAAR-tested language. These terms are organized by unit and instructional standard, making it easy to embed vocabulary in daily lessons, reviews, and assessments.

Professional Learning On-Demand

These on-demand videos are perfect for PLCs or individual planning time—guiding teachers through the curriculum with targeted explanations, key takeaways, and instructional implications.

With every unit covered, teachers can feel confident, prepared, and aligned in delivering high-impact instruction.
