New Social Studies Curriculum in NYC

Chancellor Farina says -- “The Scope and Sequence, which aligns to both the Common Core Learning Standards and the State Education Department’s new Framework for Social Studies, identifies key Social Studies themes as well as critical thinking practices and skills that students should learn in Social Studies classrooms.”

“This is a new Social Studies Scope and Sequence for grades K-8, an instructional framework designed with valuable input and collaboration from New York City’s Social Studies teachers.”

Notice how the DOE is stressing the collaboration with teachers in everything they publish lately. (See our post here on how the city announced the new School Quality Snapshot) Chancellor Farina has made this a centerpiece of her administration so far. She wants to eliminate the resentment that comes with the “top down” style of the previous mayor and chancellor.
