Welcome to
The Social Studies PLACE
Programs, Links, and Content for Educators
The goal of this site is to inform K-12 social studies educators about available social studies resources and Arkansas Department of Education updates to benefit you and your students.
What’s New?
“What Every Arkansas Educator Needs to Know About Common Core State Standards”, affectionately referred to
as the “Lucy” document, has been updated and additional resources have been added. You can access both excel
and pdf versions of the document on the Common Core page of this wiki.

The Library of Congress (LOC) has created draft versions of 3 U.S. History module blueprints based on CC and the
Literacy Standards for History/Social Studies, Science , and Technical Subjects.
These modules are aligned to CC reading and writing in grades 5, 8, and 9-10. Since they are US history/Civil War
in content these module blueprints would align with AR standards for grades 5, 6, and 11.
Please contact me if you are interested in piloting one of these module/blueprints.
The compelling questions for these modules are as follows:
- Elementary – (gr 5) Did Charles Sumner deserve it?
- Middle – (gr 8) Is freedom free?
- High School – (gr 9-10) Did Abraham Lincoln really want to free the slaves?
