New York State Social Studies Standards
Below you will find the current New York State Common Core Social Studies Framework information. They are a guide to curriculum development as well as individual lesson plans. The Standards offer educators a guide by which they are able to create meaningful learning experiences for their individual students. It is my personal belief that all students, and parents alike, should be aware of the Standards and the impact they have on student learning and achievement.
Additionally, with recent changes in Education Social Studies teachers across New York are developing new lesson plans that reflect the Common Core Learning Standards that have recently been created. Each lesson is designed to provide students with both content from the Social Studies Standards and the skills described in the Common Core Learning Standards.
