Social Studies

The National Council for the Social Studies defines social studies as “the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence.” Within the school program, social studies courses provide a comprehensive program that seeks to develop knowledge, attitudes, and skills that will enable students to understand how groups and institutions influence the lives of individuals and give society its stability and order. The program incorporates practice in reflective inquiry, problem analysis, and decision –making to enable students to develop a commitment to democracy and to become rational citizens in a global context. Courses will utilize the four process standards: Communication, data analysis, historical awareness, and acquiring information and the six content standards: Culture, Economics, geography, government and civics, history, and individuals, groups, and interactions for instructional purposes.
