Today’s Purpose & Expected Outcomes

– Understand how to deconstruct the standards to effectively align the standards with instruction and assessment

– Examine Instructional Focus Calendars to look for clear alignment and conceptual focus

Effective Social Studies

• Builds on Conceptual Understanding with factual knowledge

• Evidence Based

• Promotes Inquiry

• Integrates the Disciplinary Strands

Guiding Questions 1) Does your instruction and assessment align with the

standards?2) Have you identified key concept, skills, and factual

content that each unit will focus on? 3) Have you identified generalizations that student’s

should understand? 4) Does your unit allow students to take an in depth look

at a broad topic of study? 5) Does your entire unit sequence consist of

• Elementary (3-4) • Secondary (5-8)

Does your instruction and assessment align with the standards?

Procedural Standards 6.H.1.1 Construct charts, graphs and historical narratives to explain particular events or issues over time.

6.H.1.2 Summarize the literal meaning of historical documents in order to establish context.

6.H.1.3 Use primary and secondary sources to interpret various historical perspectives.

6.G.2.1 Use maps, charts, graphs, geographic data and available technology tools to draw conclusions about the emergence, expansion and decline of civilizations, societies and regions.

6.G.2.2 Construct maps, charts and graphs to explain data about geographic phenomena (e.g., migration patterns and population and resource distribution patterns).

Conceptual Standards6.C&G.1.1 Explain the origins and structures of various governmental systems (e.g., democracy, absolute monarchy and constitutional monarchy).

6.C&G.1.2 Summarize the ideas that shaped political thought in various civilizations, societies and regions (e.g., divine right, equality, liberty, citizen participation and integration of religious principles).

6.C&G.1.3 Compare the requirements for (e.g., age, gender and status) and responsibilities of (e.g., paying taxes and military service) citizenship under various governments.

[Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy – (RBT)]

We Must Know The Standards & What The Standards Expect Students To Be Able To

Know , Understand And Do!

The RBT Taxonomy Table…

MUST be a part of your instructional planning

Helps teachers determine which cognitive process and which type of knowledge is to be ASSESSED

We Must Know The Standards & What The Standards Expect Students To Be Able To

Know , Understand And Do!

Let’s Look At Understanding A Standard

Grade 8 Essential Standards

8.H.3.1Explain how migration and immigration contributed to the development of North Carolina and the United States from colonization to contemporary times (e.g. westward movement, African slavery, Trail of Tears, the Great Migration and Ellis and Angel Island).

SUGGESTIONS ONLY of some of the things that a teacher might choose to teach as content examples.

The VERB – is Explain, which in the RBT taxonomy requires the learner to be able to show their knowledge and understanding of causes and effects.

The CONCEPTS – are migration, immigration, development, colonization, time.

migration immigrationdevelopment

colonization time

The OBJECT OF THE LEARNING - how migration and immigration contributed to the development of North Carolina and the United States

Clarifying Objective

Cognitive Processes for Understand (Interpreting, Exemplifying,

Classifying, Summarizing,

Inferring, Comparing, Explaining)

Example Classroom Assessment

8.C&G.1.1Summarize democratic ideals expressed in local, state, and national government(e.g. limited government, popular sovereignty, separation of powers, republicanism, federalism and individual rights).

SummarizeAbstracting a general or major point

Watch the following clip:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_-gQyqcjPQ

or

Study the following images:

Classroom Assessment: Summarize in a paragraph of ten sentences or less the democratic ideals of U.S. government described in either the article or video clip.

Classroom Assessment Example

Classroom Assessment ExampleClarifying Objective

Cognitive Processes Of Analyze

Example Classroom Assessments

8.C&G.2.2 Analyze issues pursued through active citizen campaigns for change (e.g. voting rights and access to education, housing and employment).

DifferentiatingDistinguishing relevant from irrelevant

parts or the important from the unimportant parts of material

OrganizingDetermining how elements fit or function within a structure

Attributing Determining a point of view, bias or intent underlying material that has been presented

After reading a historical account of the Greensboro sit-ins distinguish the major and minor effects of the protest.

Read a passage detailing the late 20th century shift in the economy of Thomasville, NC. Write an outline that shows which facts in the passage support and which facts do not support the conclusion that the decline in the local furniture industry caused by trade agreements of the 1990s.

Determine if a report on the Dismal Swamp was written from a pro-environmental or pro-business point of view.

Have you identified generalizations that student’s should understand?

Does your unit allow students to take an in depth look at a broad topic of

study?

What is a generalization in concept-based curriculum

and instruction?Two or more concepts in a

relationship...Concept Concept

CONCEPTUAL IDEAS THAT TRANSFER DEVELOP “DEEP UNDERSTANDING’’

What do I understand as a result of my study that I can transfer?

Students will understand that:

War may alter the physical and human geography of a place.

Leadership may change the course of war.

Nations often go to war to protect their political and economic interests.

Two or more concepts in a relationship...

War Resources

War may decrease the availability of resources.

Two or more concepts in a relationship...

Rules allow a community to maintain order.

What Goes Up Must Come Down(The era from Harding to Hoover. The desired focus will be on the administrations of Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover to show how their economic and political decisions or indecisions really hurt the American economy long term and snowballed the U.S. toward a great economic depression. Also, focuses on how the lifestyles of those who benefited from economic decisions of the government as well as those who were hurt by them helped lead the nation into the Great Depression of the 1930s.)

An Example – AH2 Unit Topic:

Everybody Wants To Rule The World

*Note: The content of this unit is the Cold War and Its Effects.

Conceptual Lens:

Power & Conflict

Unit Overview: This unit will focus on the elements of the foreign policy known as containment and the major conflicts that shaped the Cold War. Students will begin to look at how containment affected domestic policy and American life as well as the U.S. position as a power in the global world.

Generalization: Democratic governments seek public support and use propaganda to influence issues of national security and domestic policy issues and debates.

1. In what ways did the U.S. use emotional response to generate public support for the search for communists and anarchists in American government?

2. How might fear affect political or government action?

3. Is the restriction of civil liberties ever justified?

4. How have both the Red Scare and the Patriot Act impacted the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens?
