SOCIAL STUDIES – POLICY 2520.04Social Studies, as a field of study, embodies the essence of mankind and interconnects the past, present and future. It investigates where peoplelive and how they participate as citizens of the world. It manifests how people change, prosper and live in an increasingly culturally diverse,interconnected world. The Social Studies curriculum enables students to understand the political, geographic, economic and social world. Itencourages students to work independently and collaboratively using critical thinking and problem solving skills necessary to develop civicresponsibility for the 21 st Century.A multitude of references was considered to support the development of the Social Studies curriculum including the National Standards forHistory, the National Standards for Social Studies, the National Voluntary Standards for Economics, the National Standards for Civics, and theNational Geographic Standards for Life, in addition to the guidelines of NAEP, ACT, SAT, 21 st Century Partnership, and various accreditedassessment consultants. The foundation of West Virginia’s Content Standards and Objectives in Social Studies is to identify what students shouldknow and to guide them in the development of their skills and dispositions. With this philosophy as a guide, members of the Social StudiesCurriculum Revision Committee developed six content standards for all West Virginia students. Those students who can problem solve, analyze,synthesize, communicate, collaborate and adapt will be successful in the 21st century. “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those whocannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” Alvin TofflerWest Virginia’s vision for education includes the integration of technology and critical thinking skills throughout the curriculum so that all WestVirginia students have the opportunity to develop skills that support high achievement. Successful learning environments provide opportunities forstudents to use educational technology with curricular content in relevant context. West Virginia teachers are responsible for integrating the 21 stCentury skills and tools into the content standards and objectives.The Social Studies Content Standards and Objectives establish the foundation of the core disciplines: citizenship, civics/government, economics,geography, history and reading/writing. Each discipline offers a distinct strategy for developing global awareness. Although each content standardprovides a very unique perspective of the world, they should not be taught in isolation. Social Studies is by its very nature integrative. Theimportant social issues require insights from across the disciplines. Citizenship, civics/government, economics, geography and history each offerdistinct approaches and develop specific skills for examining common subject matter, which can be integrated when addressing a particular issueor event. Below is a brief explanation of the specific importance of each core discipline.In Plato’s words, “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.” Social Studies education must begin early to insurethat students develop an understanding and appreciation of the United States as a powerful and proud nation. As we stand in the 21st Century,the United States remains an international leader and role model for democracy. Social Studies education provides students with the knowledgeand skills necessary to collectively and strategically meet the challenges of the 21st Century.The five major content strands have defined objectives that explain what the student should now. The objectives move from the literal level ofidentifying and recognizing information to the more complex skills of analyzing and evaluating. When applying the objectives, all bulleted itemsmust be taught. The abbreviation e.g. indicates examples for teaching the objectives. Furthermore, the teacher is strongly encouraged to reviewthe objectives of the previous grade level to serve as a starting point for review and maintenance in the spiraling curriculum.v
