Common Core State Social Studies Standards

     Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are NOW. Today schools are focused on preparing students for the World of Work and College. The varied States have chosen CCSS to drive and deliver this educational reform.

     CCSS demands that Elementary and High School students become actively involved in their own learning. The CCSS demand that students become actively engaged in their own learning while they generate their own learning products. As a result, students are expected to seriously think about what they are learning while they generate knowledge answering rigorous questions. During this process it is important for teachers to remember that good teaching requires explicit teaching of academic content across the curriculum so students will have the background knowledge to analyze, compare and contrast historical documents, informational text and artifacts.

   Students  use CCSS to identify primary and secondary sources; and be able to make inferences based on the relationship between these diverse sources of information to understand historical events and ideas. To meet CCSS students will use details from the text they read and analyze to support their conclusions.

          Teachers use CCSS to create social science lessons and thematic units. These social sciences lessons demand that students individually or co-construct their own knowledge as they work to explore the significant changes that have occurred in the world, the nation and their neighborhood or community over time. 

       Making inferences and drawing conclusions is an integral part of any unit of study. Using CCSS students  become involved in uncovering information that will be used to develop and produce creative projects that provide valuable social science and historical information.
