Philosophy Statement

The digital age has transformed social studies education, allowing 21st-century learners to transcend the limits of time and place and experience

historic events virtually. By expanding their learning networks through online collaboration with experts and other students from around the world,

New Jersey social studies students develop an increased depth of understanding of our global society. At the same time, their understanding of the

fundamental principles and values of American democracy and citizenship provides the conceptual framework that allows them to make informed

decisions about local, national, and international issues and challenges.

Mission: Social studies education provides learners with the knowledge, skills, and perspectives needed to become active,

informed citizens and contributing members of local, state, national, and global communities in the digital age.

Vision: An education in social studies fosters a population that:

• Is civic minded, globally aware, and socially responsible.

• Exemplifies fundamental values of American citizenship through active participation in local and global communities.

• Makes informed decisions about local, state, national, and global events based on inquiry and analysis.

• Considers multiple perspectives, values diversity, and promotes cultural understanding.

• Recognizes the implications of an interconnected global economy.

• Appreciates the global dynamics between people, places, and resources.

• Utilizes emerging technologies to communicate and collaborate on career and personal matters with citizens of other world regions.

Intent and Spirit of the Social Studies Standards

All students receive social studies instruction from Preschool through grade 12. The challenges of the 21st century are complex, have global

implications, and are connected to people, places, and events of the past. The study of social studies focuses on deep understanding of concepts that

enable students to think critically and systematically about local, regional, national, and global issues.

Authentic learning experiences that enable students to apply content knowledge, develop citizenship skills, and collaborate with students from

around the world prepare New Jersey students for the 21st-century workplace. The natural integration of technology in social studies education

allows students to overcome geographic borders, apply scientific and mathematical analysis to historical questions and contemporary issues,

appreciate cultural diversity, and experience events through the examination of primary sources.

5

The New Jersey social studies standards and indicators reflect national and state standards and other documents published by the National Center for

History Education, National Council for Social Studies, National Council for Geographic Education, Center for Civic Education, National Council on

Economic Education, Mid-Continent Research on Education and Learning, National Assessment of Educational Progress, and the Partnership for 21st

Century Skills.2

Social studies instruction occurs throughout the P-12 spectrum:

At the Preschool level, students participate in interdisciplinary activities that promote cultural awareness, sensitivity to individual differences,

and respect for diversity.

In grades K-4, students learn fundamental concepts about government, citizenship, geography, economics, and history. The focus of

instruction is on developing an understanding of core democratic values, the rights and responsibilities of American citizens, and how key

people and events contributed to the development of the American heritage. Exploration of cultural universals enables students to realize

how the availability of resources, the changing environment, and innovation impact everyday life.

In grades 5-8, students build upon K-4 foundational content. Through instruction in U.S. History and World History/Global Studies, they begin

to analyze the implications of government structures and economic policies for individuals, communities, nations, and global relationships.

The study of migratory patterns and belief systems that in the past led to cooperation and conflict among groups of people enable students to

realize the significance of cultural transmission in today’s global society. Relevant activities that help students connect content knowledge to

current issues and that promote service learning empower students to become civic-minded and socially active.

In grades 9-12, students continue to study U.S. History and World History/Global Studies. They consider historical viewpoints in order to

analyze the role of the individual in society and the significance of fundamental documents to basic human rights. Socratic discussion groups

and debate activities enable students to develop sound reasoning and effective communication skills. Opportunities to collaborate with

students from around the world and experts in the field, and to develop innovative solutions to real world problems on the local, national, and

global levels, mirror the 21st-century workplace and allow students to practice important career skills. By the end of grade 12, students have a

heightened understanding of the cause-and-effect relationship between past and present events, recognize patterns of interactions, and

understand the impact of events in an interconnected world.

Revised Standards

The 2014 Social Studies Standards provide the foundation for creating local curricula and developing meaningful assessments. Minor revisions were

made to the 2009 Social Studies Standards for one of the following four reasons - to provide clarity, increase accuracy, adjust pedagogical

expectations or to address grammatical issues. The revisions that were made are intended to clarify the document and do not reflect major changes

6

to the standards. In addition, several new skills were added to the Skills Table to reflect the expectations of the New Jersey Student Learning

Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects.

The Role of Essential Questions

Key essential questions recur throughout the study of history. They provoke inquiry and lead to deeper understanding of the big ideas that enable

students to better comprehend how the past connects to the present. The essential questions created for this project, which follow, were used to

frame content goals and to inform the development of the cumulative progress indicators.

A. Civics, Government, and Human Rights

How do citizens, civic ideals, and government institutions interact to balance the needs of individuals and the common good?

How have economic, political, and cultural decisions promoted or prevented the growth of personal freedom, individual responsibility,

equality, and respect for human dignity?

B. Geography, People, and the Environment

How do physical geography, human geography, and the human environment interact to influence or determine the development of

cultures, societies, and nations?

C. Economics, Innovation, and Technology

How can individuals, groups, and societies apply economic reasoning to make difficult choices about scarce resources? What are the

possible consequences of these decisions for individuals, groups, and societies?

How have scientific and technological developments over the course of history changed the way people live and economies and

governments function?

D. History, Culture, and Perspectives

How do our interpretations of past events inform our understanding of cause and effect, and continuity and change, and how do they

influence our beliefs and decisions about current public policy issues?

How can the study of multiple perspectives, beliefs systems, and cultures provide a context for understanding and challenging public

actions and decisions in a diverse and interdependent world?

7

Organization of the Standards

The organization and content of the 2014 social studies standards reflects N.J.A.C. 6A:8-5.1(a)1.iv., which requires at least 15 credits in social studies,

including satisfaction of N.J.S.A. 18A:35-1 and 2; five credits in world history; and the integration of civics, economics, geography, and global studies

content in all courses.

Standard 6.1 U.S. History: America in the World applies to grades P-12; at the P and K-4 levels, content is organized by strand only; at

the 5-8 and 9-12 levels, content organized by era and strand.

Standard 6.2 World History/Global Studies applies only to grades 5-12; at both the 5-8 and 9-12 levels, content organized by era and

strand.

Standard 6.3 Active Citizenship in the 21st Century applies to grades P-12; at all levels (P, K-4, 5-8, and 9-12) content is organized by

strand only.

Standard Grade Level

6.1 U.S. History: America in the World P-4

6.3 Active Citizenship in the 21st Century P-4

The organizational scheme of the social studies standards highlights the interrelationship among government/civics, economics, and geography

during each time period throughout history.

In addition, the integration of social studies content and skills is essential for understanding and for developing habits of mind that are necessary for

students to become informed citizens and contributing members of society. Thus, four key social studies skills (chronological thinking, spatial thinking,

critical thinking, and presentational skills) have been identified and elaborated for the three K-12 grade clusters (K-4, 5-8, 9-12). These skills should be

systematically integrated into instruction and assessed in conjunction with content.

Coding of Indicators

For standards 6.1, grades P-4, and for standard 6.3, all grades, each indicator code should be interpreted as follows:

6.1. 4. A. 1

8

standard

number

grade strand indicator

For standards 6.1 and 6.2, grades 5-12, the inclusion of the era impacts the coding of each indicator as follows:

Good citizens follow the rules and laws to stay safe. A community has rules called laws. Apply the qualities of good citizenship by following rules and laws.

Essential Questions:

Why is it important to be respectful and kind? What are some rules of the school/classroom and how do they help

us? What would happen if we didn’t have rules and laws? What does it mean to be a responsible citizen at home, at school,

and at play?

Communities need both farms and factories to produce goods for survival.

Needs are things people must have in order to live and wants are things that people would like to have but do not need in order to live.

Goods are things that are made or grown/people buy or sell them and a service is something that people do for others.

Individuals need basic goods and services for everyday life.


Which is more important to a community, the farm or the factory? How are wants different from needs? What are needs and wants? What are goods and services?


Identify changes in communication and transportation and explore ways that these changes have affected people’s lives. Compare and contrast farm goods with factory goods. Identify goods and services. Distinguish between needs and wants.


Create a drawing showing needs to the left and wants to the right.

Draw a picture of a farm and explain animals and goods.
