This resource document is designed to assist teachers in implementing the "History-Social Science Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten through Grade Twelve." The purpose of these models is to support implementation of the "Framework" at the local level. In addition to serving as a resource for teachers and other developers of curricula, the models may be used to plan topics and select resources for professional development.

Unit 1 focuses on "The Constitution and the Bill of Rights." Unit 2 highlights "The Courts and the Governmental Process." Unit 3 examines "Our Government Today: The Legislative and Executive Branches." Unit 4 explains "Federalism: State and Local Government."
