Ethiopian New Curriculum Grade 9 History Teacher’s Guide consists of nine thematic units. The first unit introduces the discipline of history itself, the transition from prehistory to recorded history, human evolution in Africa, and the rise of early states. Unit two explores ancient civilizations across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe, concluding with the rise of Christianity. In the third unit, teachers are guided through early Ethiopian and Horn of Africa state formations, languages, religious developments, and key kingdoms such as Aksum and the Zagwe dynasty.

Unit four covers the Middle Ages and early modern periods, including European and Asian developments, the emergence of capitalism, the Age of Exploration, the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Industrial Revolution. The fifth unit focuses on pre-1500 African states, Islamic influence in West Africa, and intercontinental relations within and beyond Africa. In unit six, the interaction between Africa and the external world from 1500 to the 1880s is analyzed through themes such as slavery, trade, colonial encounters, and European missionary activity.

The seventh unit examines Ethiopian history from the 13th to mid-16th centuries, including the Solomonic dynasty, Muslim principalities, socio-political dynamics in the southern and central regions, the Oromo Gadaa system, and egalitarian governance traditions. Unit eight addresses Ethiopia's diverse regional histories from the mid-16th to the 19th century, covering Gondar, the Zemene Mesafint, and the rise of Shewa. Finally, unit nine immerses teachers in global revolutions from 1750–1815, including the Industrial Revolution, the American War of Independence, the French Revolution, the Napoleonic period, and the Congress of Vienna.
