This book presenting the social studies standards is designed to serve three purposes: (1) to serve as a framework for social studies program design from kindergarten through grade 12; (2) to function as a guide for curriculum decisions by providing student performance expectations in the areas of knowledge, processes, and attitudes; and (3) to provide examples of classroom activities that will guide teachers as they design instruction to help their students meet performance expectations. The framework of the standards consists of 10 themes incorporating fields of study that roughly correspond with one or more relevant disciplines. These 10 themes span the educational levels from early to middle grades to high school. Student performance expectations within each theme are specified, and examples of classroom activities are provided as illustrations of how to design learning experiences to help students meet the performance expectations. The 10 themes that form the framework of the social studies standards are: (1) culture; (2) time, continuity, and change; (3) people, places, and environments; (4) individual development and identity; (5) individuals, groups, and institutions; (6) power, authority, and governance; (7) production, distribution, and consumption; (8) science, technology, and society; (9) global connections; and (10) civic ideals and practices.
