California Economics Standards Alignment
The state of California publishes standards for teaching Economics at the high school level as part of their History and Social Studies content standards. We have aligned our own Economics curriculum to address each of the California standards. We also have more economics activities available as a supplement, which address additional benchmarks found in the National standards.
