National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies Themes of Social Studies

Throughout the course of the school year, TIME Education reinforces the following NCSSS Themes in articles and lesson plans:

Culture: Humans create, learn, share, and adapt, and cultures are dynamic and change over time. Time, Continuity & Change: Studying the past helps to understand the human story across time, enables us to analyze causes and consequences of events and developments, and to place these in the context of institutions, values and beliefs of the periods in which they took place. Knowing how to read, reconstruct and interpret the past allows us to learn about past and present, and to evaluate the usefulness and reliability of different historical sources.

People, Places & Environments: The study of people, places and environments enables us to understand the relationship between human populations and the physical world.

Individual Development & Identity: Personal identity is shaped by culture, groups, institutions, and lived experiences shared with those inside and outside the individual’s own culture.

Individuals, Groups & Institutions: Formal & informal political, economic and social organizations, how they are formed and what controls and influences them, and their influence on individuals and culture, and how they are maintained and changed is important to our daily lives.

Power, Authority and Governance: Developing civic competence requires an understanding of the foundations of political thought and the history and evolution of structures of power, authority and governance in the U.S. and the world.

Production, Distribution and Consumption: Peoples’ wants often exceed their resources, and this impacts our global economy and development.

Science, Technology & Society: Science & technology have a major influence on our daily lives, cultures, and on social and cultural change, and how people interact with the world.

Global Connections: Global connections have intensified and accelerated the changes at the local, national and international levels.

Civic Ideals & Practices: An understanding of civic ideals and practices is critical to full societal participation, and is critical to the central purpose of social studies – citizenship, including applying civic ideals as actions to exercise democratic freedoms and the pursuit of the common good.
