Celebrating 10 Years of Supporting Texas Social Studies Teachers

As we begin 2026, we’re excited to celebrate a major milestone: Exploros is entering our 10th year of supporting Texas Social Studies teachers.

Built for Texas classrooms and continuously shaped by educator feedback, our mission has always been simple:

• Simplify teaching
• Engage all students
• Improve outcomes

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

A Complete Social Studies Solution for Grades 4–12

Over the past decade, our commitment to Texas educators has continued to grow. Today, Exploros offers:

• Texas Social Studies Pre- and Post-Assessments for grades 4–12
• Inclusion on the TEA TIA third-party vendor list
• A full core Social Studies curriculum for grades 4 through high school

Together, these tools provide a complete, standards-aligned Social Studies solution designed to support instruction, engagement, and data-driven decision-making across campuses and districts.

8th Grade U.S. History Course Refresh (Almost Here!)

We’re excited to share that the refreshed 8th-Grade U.S. History through 1877 course is nearly complete!

• Eight units are live now
