This two dimensional table is used to help determine
the type of knowledge and the cognitive behavior of
the standard/ objective.
 The knowledge dimension identified the type of
knowledge to be learned.
 The cognitive dimension identifies the which provides
you with the process used to learn the content.

The Five (5) Conceptual Strands
• The New Social Studies
Essential Standards Are
Organized Around Five (5)
Conceptual Strands
• The strands provide a
framework by which to organize
concepts, generalizations and
critical content that are important
for understanding the disciplines
of social studies.
Conceptual Framework
“Essential Understanding” / Generalization / “Big Idea”:
The student will understand that:
The physical and human geography
of a place contributes to the identity
of a region, community, state, nation
or the world.

 Understanding the Cognitive & Content Shifts
 Crosswalks of 2006 & 2010 Standards
 Unpacked Content Documents
 Online Modules (NC Education Portal)
 Glossary of Terms
This Crosswalk …
…can show you the
cross of the old cognitive
process with the new
…can help you see type of
knowledge
…can show you how even
if the content is the same
or similar that there are
differences is in what the
student is being asked to
do with the content
…can help you see the
gaps that may exist where
content is moved from one
grade to another
…can help you see if you
have resources to support
the new
…can help you see where
teachers may need more
PD or PD they have never
had before
Unpacking the Essential Standards
What type of
knowledge?
For Example:
Clarifying Objective:
7.G.1.1 Explain how environmental conditions and human response to
those conditions influence modern societies and regions (e.g. natural
barriers, scarcity of resources and factors that influence settlement).
Understanding/Generalization:
The student will understand that…
Environmental conditions may alter
human settlement patterns.

From Concepts to Generalizations
USH1.H.8.2 Explain how opportunity and
mobility impacted various groups within
American society through Reconstruction
(e.g., City on a Hill, Lowell and other “mill
towns,” Manifest Destiny, immigrants/migrants,
Gold Rush, Homestead Act, Morrill Act,
Exodusters, women, various ethnic groups, etc.).
1.
What are the stated concepts you see in the objective?
2.
What are some other concepts that you could teach from this
standard? (implied concepts)
3.
From the concepts, write a generalization /understanding.

From Concepts to Generalizations
3.G.1.3 Exemplify how people adapt to,
change and protect the environment to
meet their
Need.
7.E.1.1 Explain how competition for
resources affects the economic
relationship among nations (e.g.
colonialism, imperialism,
globalization and interdependence).
CE.C&G.1. Explain how the tensions over
power and authority led America’s founding
fathers to develop a constitutional democracy
(e.g., mercantilism, salutary neglect, taxation
and representation, boycott and protest,
independence, American Revolution, Articles of
Confederation, Ben Franklin, George
Washington, John Adams, Sons of Liberty, etc.)

HOW DO YOU BEGIN TO ORGANIZE
CONTENT?
 Center around central concepts and
generalizations, supported by selected facts
and information.
 Promote student inquiry by using essential or
guiding questions to lead students to enduring
understandings or generalizations.
Major concepts for each Grade
 Continuity and change (over time and in various civilizations, societies,
and regions)
 Conflict and cooperation
 Compromise and negotiation
 Migration and population distribution
 Cultural expression/practices and diffusion
 Human-environment interaction
 Trade and economic decision-making
 Societal organization (economic, political, and social systems)

 Citizenship
Where to start for 6th Grade?
National World History Standards:
http://nchs.ucla.edu/Standards/world-history-standards
The periodization of the new Essential Standards for sixth grade social studies is based on
the five eras identified by the National Standards for World History,
Era 1: The Beginnings of Human Society Giving Shape to World History
Era 2: Early Civilizations and the Emergence of Pastoral People, 4000-1000 BCE/BC
Era 3: Classical Traditions, Major Religions, and Giant Empires, 1000 BCE/BC-300 CE/AD
Era 4: Expanding Zones of Exchange and Encounter, 300-1000 CE/AD
Era 5: Intensified Hemispheric Interactions, 1000 – 1500 CE/AD
Integration
Organizing The Social Studies Standards Into
Curriculum As
Units Of Instruction
It’s A Process!
Step 1: Start with the Essential Standards (unpack/deconstruct).
Step 2: Create an outline of units you may teach for the entire year. (includes unit titles and
conceptual lens)
Step 3: Draft a brief summary describing each unit
Step 4: Identify Clarifying Objectives that support each unit.
Step 5: Create a Concept/Content web. (can also be used in developing 8 & 9)
Step 6: Write Generalizations/Understandings
Step 7: Write Guiding/Essential Questions to support each understanding/generalization.
Step 8: Identify Critical Factual Content.
Step 9: Identify Key Skills.
Step 10: Align Assessments to know, skills, and understandings
Step 11: Develop Learning Experiences
Step 12: Identify Unit Resources and write any helpful Teacher Notes

The Seventh Grade Unit Example
Unit focus: The Age of Exploration – Reasons and Impact
Throughout the unit, students could explore the quest for trade,
innovation, power, authority and wealth among European nations
led to increased global interaction throughout the world. Included in
this inquiry, could be the implications of these global interactions i.e.
cultural diffusion (goods, religion, cultural practices, ideas, etc.),
colonization, wealth, slave trading, etc. And, finally, how these
global interaction specifically led to European exploration and
inhabitation of the Americas.
From a more modern perspective, students could study implications of
global exploration today i.e. exploration for new natural resources,
new source of labor, etc.

Graduation Requirements
The new requirement of 4 social studies courses for graduation will go
into effect beginning with the freshmen entering high school for the
first time during the 2012-2013 school year (see State Board Policy
GCS-N-004 governing Student Accountability Standards/Graduation
Requirements). The requirements includes World History, Civics and
Economics, American History I: The Founding Principles and
American History II (AH II). Students may take AP United States
History in lieu of AH I and AH II.
For students who are enrolled at an International Baccalaureate
(IB) school, the IB United States History course may fulfill the AH
I and AH II requirements. (verdict is still out – will have a
response in the next week or so )
American History I &II
Beginning with the 2012-2013 school year, teachers will teach
all social studies courses using the new Social Studies
Essential Standards. American History is the one exception.
If you offer AH I and AH 2, to freshmen who enter high school
for the first time next year, you must offer the two American
History courses supported by the new Essential Standards. If
you offer American History to students other than freshmen
entering high school for the first time, you have the option
of teaching the two new American History courses or the
United States History course supported by the 2006
Standard Course of Study. This exception is made because
students who were enrolled in high school prior to the 20122013 school year were not required to take four social studies
courses for graduation.
High School Sequencing
AP Courses
 Students may substitute AP US History for AH I and
AH II, but they are required to take a fourth social
studies course to receive the fourth credit necessary
to fulfill the graduation requirements for social studies.
 Students may continue to substitute AP World History
for the World History requirement.
 AP Courses will continue to be offered as elective
options.
 AP Government may not be a substitute for Civics and
Economics because it does not cover Econ or PFL.
Assessment
 EOCs: Pursuant to Session Law 2011-8 House Bill 48: No Standardized Testing
Unless Req’d by the Feds., there will be no End-of-Course testing for American
History or Civics and Economics effective during the 2011-12 school year. For
specific questions regarding standardized testing contact Jim Kroening at
[email protected]
 Assessment Samples: Instructional support – focused on performance
based/constructed response methods
 Primary Artifact Questions(PAQs) – part of Online Writing Instruction System
(focused on writing in Social Studies – grade 6)
 District/School Level: Balanced Assessment System – formative, benchmark and
summative (more emphasis placed on formative)
 Measures of Student Learning: one measure of teacher effectiveness for
Standard 6 of the teacher evaluation instrument. For questions & additional
information contact Jennifer Preston at [email protected]
Common Core Standards for
Literacy in History/Social Studies
 Share responsibility between ELA and SS.
 Does not replace content standards for Social
Studies
 Embedded skills standards & instructional
practice
 Focus on disciplinary literacy

Questions
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
-- Nelson Mandela
“20 years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things you didn’t do than
by the one’s you did. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover.”
