Vision for the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3)Framework for Inquiry in Social Studies State StandardsGuidance for states to use in enhancing their standards for rigor in civics, economics, geography, and history in K-12 schools In the advent of the development and mass adoption of the common core state standards for English language arts and mathematics, state and local agencies have now expressed a need to the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO or the Council) for assistance as they upgrade existing social studies standards to meet the practical goal of preparing young people for effective and successful participation in college, careers, and civic life.

In some cases the document is not even the document that goes along with that time in history, however this is only to show you the types of things that would be appropriate. If you see bullets then they are required. Review the Standards and Objectives for your grade level.

19. Table Discussion In what ways are these Next Generation CSOs different from the ones you most recently used?

25. Primary Source Documents • Groups of 3 take a packet. • Inside you will find: • A document or artifact • Primary Source Analysis Sheet from the National Archives Now each group will complete their Analysis sheet.

39. Literature Literacy

40. Literacy Standards Activity • Look at reading and writing standards and come up with a list of events that already take place in your classrooms that meet these expectations. Share…

41. Bottom Line? • “The ideal result of standards implementation will be to move classroom teaching away from a focus on worksheets, drill-and-memorize activities, and elaborate test-coaching programs, and toward engaging, challenging curriculum that supports content acquisition through a range of instructional modes and techniques, including many that develop student cognitive strategies.” David T. Conley

42. Electronic Resource Packages Electronic Resource Packages have been realigned to the Next Generation Standards. http://wveis.k12.wv.us/teach21/public/ssr/I_menu.cfm?CFID=5669410&CFTOKEN=62350396 We are also in the process or realigning all Instructional Guides, Unit Plans, and PBL’s as well.

43. Civics, Geography, Economics and Literacy should be combined around the history clusters. History Clusters are the big Ideas around each year of Instruction The majority of objectives will not be taught in isolation. There are some skills and other objectives that are true stand-alone objectives. Civics, Geography, Economics and Literacy should be combined around the history clusters. Participants will choose the grade level they work with most often and will attempt to chunk Civics, Geography, and Economics objectives around the history clusters. These objectives may be used multiple times among the clusters.** **Note: Civics does not have history clusters so they have to create their own clusters.
