Core/Supplemental Curriculum Social Studies Grades 4–12
DBQ Online is the digital delivery platform for The DBQ Project’s inquiry-based social-studies curriculum. It is intended primarily for upper-elementary through high-school students learning history and civics through evidence, with social-studies teachers, students, literacy staff, and curriculum leaders using it to support primary-source analysis, historical reasoning, argument writing, and document-based questions.
Students analyze sequenced documents, discuss competing evidence, organize claims, and write supported arguments while teachers use scaffolds and rubrics. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

- Learning focus: primary-source analysis, historical reasoning, argument writing, and document-based questions — the digital delivery platform for The DBQ Project’s inquiry-based social-studies curriculum

- Company News
The DBQ Project was founded in 2000 to support teachers and students in learning to read smart, think straight, and write more clearly. As teachers, we believe all students can develop high-level critical thinking skills if they have consistent instruction and a chance to practice. We also believe that when we provide teachers with materials that blend educational best practices and content-specific questions, we promote and support transformational change in our schools.
DBQ Online takes The DBQ Project to a whole new level. Teachers and students have the tools to read and annotate documents, take notes, organize or “bucket” evidence, and write papers in our online environment. That’s just the beginning.
