College, Career, & Civic Life C3 Framework
for Social Studies State Standards
is here
The College, Career, and Civic Life Framework C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards has been published and released by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS). The C3 document is the result of three years of work by a state led collaborative. It has multiple audiences and purposes:
· For states it is a guide for developing and/or revising state social studies standards
· For teachers, schools, and districts it is a document to assist/guide in developing and strengthening current social
studies curriculum.
The C3 introduction, on page 4, states “This Framework does not include all that can or should be included in a set of robust social studies standards, and intentionally preserves the critical choices around the selection of curricular content taught at each grade level as a decision best made by each state.”
All social studies educators and curriculum specialists are encouraged to read this document as there are instructional shifts emphasizing the acquisition and application of knowledge and clear connections to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. The format of the C3 document is different than that of other social studies standards and frameworks; there is an inquiry arc, four dimensions, and several pertinent appendices including a scholarly rationale for the document.
The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) will begin the process of revising the ADE Social Studies Curriculum Frameworks in the summer of 2014. The C3 Framework is one of the documents that the revision committee will examine closely when revising our state frameworks. Until the time when new ADE frameworks are developed and approved by the State Board of Education, teachers will continue to teach the ADE frameworks applicable to their grade and continue embedding the Common Core Literacy Standards for History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects into their curriculum/courses/ lessons.
