Common Core State Standards and Social Science (Paperback)

In this book we present ideas that teachers can use to increase the rigor of social science instruction by combining the Commmon Core State Standards (CCSS) in concert with technology. Its aim is to encourage educators to look at social science instruction as a series of activities that are authentic to student real-world experiences. Within these pages you will learn how to use CCSS to implement and demand that students rigorously apply what they know and what they experience to social science learning activities that engage all students in producing their own personal knowledge. Students producing their own educational products demonstrates their grasp of advance social science content and skills based upon their prior knowledge and understanding of social science foundational elements aligned with social science CCSS.
