Planning Curriculum in Social Studies
No. 1218, 2001, 316 pp., $42
Planning Curriculum in Social Studies is designed with two primary purposes in mind:
- To help educators develop coherent social
studies curriculum and programs that help students develop knowledge
and understanding of the major ideas and concepts of the field
of social studies and help students to become effective citizens.
- To help curriculum coordinators and teachers
plan a social studies program using Wisconsin's Model Academic
Standards for Social Studies and the vision of powerful teaching
and learning developed by the National Council for the Social
Studies.
Social studies will never be lacking for
content! A major challenge facing this field of study is the
ever-increasing amount of information. It is for this reason
the authors of this guide are encouraging an even greater focus
on the big ideas and major concepts of social studies. The content
of social studies must be organized around the most important
ideas and concepts so that students can apply them to the past,
present, and future. Unless the curriculum requires a greater
depth of knowledge and understanding, students will continue
to leave school without a framework for applying their knowledge
and skills to current and new issues and problems.

The social studies standards draw on the
major social sciences to help students become responsible citizens
in a diverse, democratic society in a mutually dependent world.
These standards provide a way to review and evaluate local curriculums
and help parents and community members to understand how social
studies learning contributes to the educational goals of society.
They develop a commitment to democratic values and provide the
knowledge base to make informed decisions on local, state, and
national issues.
