6/12/2013 Middletown Public Schools 2

he Middletown Social Studies Curriculum for grades K-12 was completed in June 2013 by a team of K-12 teachers. The team, identified as the Social Studies Curriculum Writers referenced extensive

resources to design the document that included but are not limited to:

• RI Social Studies Grade Span Expectations (GSE)

• National Standards for History

• Curriculum Standards for Social Studies

• Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects (CCSS)

• Best Practice, New Standards for Teaching and Learning in America’s Schools

• Classroom Instruction That Works

• Differentiated Instructional Strategies

• Formative Assessment and Standards-Based Grading, Classroom Strategies That Work,

• Model curriculum documents, e.g. New York

• Educational websites

• Webb’s Depth of Knowledge

The K-12 Curriculum identifies what all students should know and be able to do in Social Studies education. Each grade or course draws from Rhode Island Grade Span Expectations for Social Studies, the

Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects, the National History Standards, research-based instructional strategies, resources, map (or suggested

timeline), rubrics, and checklists.

The curriculum provides learners with a sequential comprehensive education in Social Studies through the study of Grade Span Expectations in Social Studies that includes:

• Civics and Government

• Historical Perspectives

• Economics

• Geography

And through the study of National Standards for History that includes:

• Topics for grades K-4

• United States History (Eras 1-10) for grades 5-12

• World History (Eras 1-9) for grades 5-12

• Historical Thinking Standards grades K-12

Additionally the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts that includes:

• College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading

o Key Ideas and Details

o Craft and Structure

o Integration of Knowledge

o Range of Reading

• College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Writing

o Text Types and Purposes

o Production and Distribution of Writing

o Research to Build and Present Knowledge

o Range of Writing

• Define content standards— what students should know and be able to do in Civics and Government, Histroical Perspectives, Economics and Geography.

• Define what all students should know and be able to do by the end of each grade.

• Divide Common Core Standards into broad statements called the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards (CCR) for Reading Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Lanagage (grades 6-12).

• Provide grade level specificity that define the skills and understandings that all students must demonstrate.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide a comprehensive, integrated, and differentiated

K-12 Social Studies curriculum

that is based upon research and best practice,

ensuring that students become critical thinkers, effective communicators,

and responsible citizens

The curriculum provides a list of research-based best practice instructional strategies that the teacher may model and/or facilitate, e.g.

• Employs strategies of “best practice” (student-centered, experiential, holistic, authentic, expressive, reflective, social, collaborative, democratic, cognitive, developmental, constructivist/heuristic, and

challenging).

• Use Classroom Instruction That Works Strategies:

o Setting objectives and providing feedback

o Reinforcing effort and providing recognition

o Cooperative learning

o Cues, questions, and advance organizers

o Nonlinguistic representations

o Summarizing and note taking

o Assigning homework and providing practice

o Identifying similarities and differences

o Generating and testing hypotheses

o Provide opportunities for independent, partner and collaborative group work

• Facilitates the integration of Applied Learning Standards (SCANS)

o problem solving

o communication

o critical thinking

o research

o reflection/evaluation.

• Differentiates instruction by varying the content, process, and product and implementing

o Anchoring

o Cubing

o Jig-sawing

o Pre/post assessments

o Think/pair/share

o Tiered assignments

• Analyzes formative assessment to direct instruction.

• Provides exemplars and rubrics.

• Provides opportunities for independent, partner and collaborative group work.

• Addresses multiple intelligences and brain dominance (spatial, bodily kinesthetic, musical, linguistic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, mathematical/logical, and naturalist).

• Models the use of graphic organizers: sequence organizers (chains, cycle), concept development (mind map), compare/contrast organizers (Venn diagrams, comparison charts), organizers (word web,

concept map), evaluation organizers (charts, scales), categorize/classify organizers (categories, tree) relational organizers (fish bone, pie chart).

• Employs Social Studies education best practices, e.g.

o student originality

o integration of arts across the curriculum

o school community involvement

o art for all students

• Models historical thinking skills:

o chronological thinking,

o historical comprehension

o historical analysis and interpretation, historical research capabilities
