K-12 STANDARDS, CURRICULUM & INSTRUCTION

 

 

At the State Board of Education Meeting in April 2019, the Board elected to begin the standards revision process for the  Social Studies Standards. The proposed timeline for this process is:

  • 2019-2020: Standards Exploration (Research, Creation, & Revision)
    • Anticipated approval by Summer 2020
  • 2020-2021: Standards Installation
    • Implementation of EPF course with incoming freshmen in 2020-2021
  • 2021-2022: Standards Implementation

Please watch the Informational Videos about the Revision Process or visit the K-12 Social Studies Standards Revision Process Google Sites page to gain an understanding of the K-12 Social Studies Standards review and revision process, timeline and opportunities to be involved.

Public Review of the K-12 Social Studies Standards

 

Per SBE policy SCOS-012, the revision process is feedback-based, research-informed, improvement-oriented, and process driven. The NCDPI K-12 Social Studies Team is deeply committed to ensuring that the Revision Process include the consideration of all concerns posed by educators in the schools and local districts. 

 

The public feedback survey for Draft 1 of the K-12 Social Studies Standards will open on December 13, 2019 and will close on January 31, 2020. Each course, kindergarten through high school, has its own individual survey. The feedback provided from these surveys will be used in conjunction with input from teachers and social studies specialists from North Carolina Public Schools to create Draft 2 of the standards.
