7 Introduction

Introduction

Mission Statement The Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) is dedicated to student success, which includes improving student achievement in the social studies, equipping citizens to solve complex problems, and establishing fluent communication skills, while preparing students for college, career, and civic life. The Mississippi College‐ and Career‐Readiness Standards (CCRS) provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of each grade level or course. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that students need for success in college and careers and allowing students to compete in the global economy.

Purpose

This document is designed to provide districts and K-12 social studies teachers with a basis for curriculum development. In order to prepare students for careers and college, it outlines what knowledge students should obtain, and the types of skills students must master upon successful completion of each grade level. The 2018 MS CCRS for the Social Studies reflect national expectations while focusing on postsecondary success, but they are unique to Mississippi in addressing the needs of our students and teachers. The standards’ content centers around three practices: conceptual understanding, fostering inquiry, collaboration and action, and integration of content skills. Instruction in these areas is designed for a greater balance between content and process. Teachers are encouraged to transfer more ownership of the learning process to students, who can then direct their own learning and develop a deeper understanding of the social studies and the problem-solving process. Doing so will produce students that will become more capable, independent, and literate adults.

Implementation The 2018 MS CCRS for the Social Studies will be piloted during the 2018-2019 school year and implemented during the 2019-2020 school year.

THE REVISION PROCESS FOR THE MS CCR STANDARDS FOR THE SOCIAL STUDIES

The Social Studies Curriculum Revision Team was selected in June 2016 from nominations by school district superintendents and administrators. The purpose of the team was to revise the 2011 Mississippi Social Studies Framework. The team was composed of teachers, administrators, and university professors throughout Mississippi. In order to gain a sufficient understanding of the direction of social studies education, the curriculum revision team reviewed the following:

• National Council for the Social Studies: College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards: Guidance for Enhancing the Rigor of K-12 Civics, Economics, Geography, and History

• National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Framework for Civics, Economics, Geography, and U.S. History

• ACT College- and Career-Readiness (CCR) Benchmarks

• National Standards for History Education

• National Standards for the Social Studies

• National Standards for Economic Education

• National Standards for Civics and Government

• National Standards for Geography

• Standards for Advanced Placement programs

• Social Studies standards from other states

• Current literature and research regarding the Social Studies These resources served as a foundation for the development of the 2018 MS CCRS for the Social Studies.

9 Overview of MS CCRS for the Social Studies

STRANDS

The different content strands in social studies combine to give a clear picture of the past and present. Strands also give depth to the social studies curriculum, enabling students to grasp the complexity of events from the past and present and help them acquire critical thinking skills to make informed decisions in the future. The 2018 Mississippi College- and Career-Readiness Standards for the Social Studies is comprised of five (5) essential content strands: Civics, Civil Rights, Economics, Geography, and History.

Civics Strand

The civics strand should provide students with a basic understanding of civic life, politics, and government. It should help them understand the workings of their own and other political systems as well as the relationship of American politics and government to world affairs. Civics instruction provides a basis for understanding the rights and responsibilities of citizens in American constitutional democracy and a framework for competent and responsible participation. The civics strand should be expanded by related learning experiences, in both school and community, that enable students to learn how to participate in their own governance.

10 Overview of MS CCRS for the Social Studies

Civil Rights Strand Mississippi Code 37-13-193 requires the Mississippi Department of Education to work with the Mississippi Civil Rights Education Commission to incorporate civil rights education into the state’s K-12 educational programs. Civil rights education, as understood by the writers of this framework, is defined as the mastery of content, skills and values that are learned from a focused and meaningful exploration of civil rights issues (both past and present), locally, nationally and globally. This education should lead learners to understand and appreciate issues such as social justice, power relations, diversity, mutual respect, and civic engagement. Students should acquire a working knowledge of tactics engaged by civil rights activists to achieve social change. Among these are: demonstrations, resistance, organizing, and collective action/unity. The content was incorporated as a content strand throughout the entire K-12 framework at the recommendation of the Mississippi Civil Rights Commission.

Economics Strand

The economic strand should help students gain an understanding of economic concepts, while demonstrating an understanding of economic and financial literacy inn order to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives. The strand is integrated throughout the K-12 curriculum emphasizing economic reasoning. Throughout the K-12 curriculum, students will grasp an understanding of markets and the U.S. economy in a global setting.

Geography Strand

The geography strand equips students with the knowledge, skills, and perspectives of world geography. Students will learn how to use geographic thinking and information to make well‐ reasoned decisions and to solve personal and community problems. The geography strand will enable students to use geographic perspectives, knowledge, and skills to engage in ethical action with regard to self, other people, other species, and Earth’s diverse cultures and natural environments.

History Strand

The history strand investigates events that change the way people live. History is a record of

the past, of people who changed society. We learn history from 2 sources: primary and secondary sources. The strand looks into how the past shape does the present, how have

people and events changed society, and how have influences of other, more powerful countries, affected countries today.
