The Common Standards Movement and the Role of Social Studies on the Internet
Risinger, C. Frederick
Social Education, v74 n6 p336-337, 344 Nov-Dec 2010
The national common educational standards and the role of citizenship education is an important issue for all social studies educators--preK through college. This article presents websites that examine the Common Core Standards Initiative's work and plans for the future and some that focus more specifically on the social studies/citizenship efforts and achievements. Many have links to documents that teachers will find useful in understanding who's pushing the common curriculum standards movement, who's resisting (Texas and Alaska lead that effort), and how common social studies standards might affect teachers. Teachers may not use much of this information with their students, but it might lead to some interesting discussions in departmental meetings.
