Civic Readiness Initiative Mission Statement: Encourage all students to believe in the power of their own voices and actions. Equip all students with the skills and knowledge necessary to engage responsibly in our culturally diverse democracy. Empower all students to make informed decisions to enhance our interconnected world. New York State Department of Education chose to include the Civic Readiness Index in our Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Plan as a tool to measure school's success.
Civic Readiness Initiative Goals • Ensure students develop the knowledge and skills to meaningfully transition to postsecondary opportunities and to exercise civic responsibility • Define Civic Readiness • Create the Criteria for the Seal of Civic Readiness • Explore capstone projects • Create guidance and resources that support the K-12 NYS Social Studies Framework Practices: • Civic Participation • Gathering, interpreting and using evidence • Stay tuned for more information • http://www.nysed.gov/curriculum-instruction/civic-readiness-initiative
Since Last We Met… Since our goal is to “support continuous improvement in social studies learning and instruction,” our expectation is that you will take away what you have learned and bring back ideas and experiences to share. Our work from last time included:
Frenzy to Focus • Form Groups 1 minute • Select time keeper and process facilitator 1 minute • Frenzy through articles 7 minutes • Briefly discuss and choose 3 minutes • Read 17 minutes • Group discussion 3 minutes each • Debrief 3 minutes
Group Dialogue • What does this look like at your grade level? • What are the “Power Practices” for your students? • What resources do you need to support your students to develop these practices? • What questions do you have?
One more thing… • Books and resources for further reading and study about historical thinking: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AhRIUOukqmcZLtfZh1zaMknHExhFWaCm/view?usp=sharing • Be ready to share at the next meeting about your learning and discoveries
Since Last We Met… Mix and Mingle: • Make eye contact with someone who is NOT sitting at your table and share: • What is one thing you did relating to social studies back in your school/district since our last meeting? • Who was your audience? • What was the outcome? • When you hear the signal find another partner.
Since Last We Met… • Return to your tables and share what you learned from your partners. • What is one insight your table could share with the whole group?
Data Driven Dialogue Research compiled by the Council of Chief School Officers 2018 Research Infographic of Social Studies instruction in the U.S. Table dialogue: Make a prediction what the data will show
Current State of Social Studies • As a table group look at the information on the infographic • What surprises you? • What is confirmed for you? • How does this compare with social studies teaching/learning in your school/district? Source: Council of Chief State School Officers. (November 2018). The Marginalization of Social Studies. Access at https://ccsso.org/resource-library/marginalization-social-studies
Current State of Social Studies • Chart and post your group’s thinking about the infographic using this format: • Gallery Walk: Review the thinking from the other groups. What do you notice?
Table Talk How could this be used to stimulate thinking about social studies in your school/district?
Driving Question 2018-2019 What does historical thinking look, sound, and feel like when all students at all levels are included?
Historical Thinking • Thinking about a document • You will be using different lenses to look at and ask questions about a historical document. • Thinking about your thinking • As you think about the document, you need to also think about your thinking!
Choose Your Lenses! At your tables, each person needs to choose one of the lenses for the Source Investigation. Make sure that each of the lenses is chosen by at least one person.
Source Investigation Use the source and your chosen lens to: • Identify what a person with your lens would look for or notice. • Record a question or questions a person with your lens would ask or wonder about. Think about your thinking: • What are you doing to produce your notices and questions? • What historical thinking skills are you using?
Table Talk • What historical thinking skills did you use to interpret the document? • How did the lens affect your thinking about the document? • To do this activity with students, what would need to be scaffolded? What would need to be modified? • How could this source inivestigation be used in elementary school, middle school, high school?
Turnkey Activities • Regents Exam Information Table Talk • Since We Last Met Mix and Mingle • Current State of Social Studies Infographic Charting and Gallery Walk • Historical Thinking Source Investigation
Continuing to Plan Use the information you have gathered today to continue your planning for social studies teaching and learning in your school/district: • What is the current state of social studies in your school/district? What needs to continue? What needs to change? • Where and when is historical thinking taking place and where does it need to be developed? • What resources/professional development do teachers need to support social studies teaching and learning??
For next time… • What is one thing you will do back in your school/district between now and our next meeting? • Who is your intended audience? • What do you want the outcome to be? • Be ready to share at our next SSLN!
