Social Studies
In social studies, a new social studies framework has been developed called, “New York State Common Core K-8 or 9-12 Social Studies Framework based on the five standards that were adopted in 1996: History of the United States and New York, World History, Geography, Economics, and Civics. Our social studies leadership team is using this framework to assess our program and make decisions about materials and resources to support our students in meeting the social studies and common core standards. There is also a national framework that was developed that focuses on four dimensions, which align with the CCSS.
| Developing Questions and Planning Inquiries | Dimension 2: Applying Disciplinary Tools and Concepts | Dimension 3: Evaluating Sources and Using Evidence | Dimension 4: Communicating Conclusions and Taking Informed Action |
