North Schuylkill's K-12 Social Studies curriculum is currently under review with recommended revisions and adoptions targeted for Spring 2011. Among the concepts we will explore will be to teach Social Studies using a thematic approach. For example, content each year would be organized along 4 themes: historiography, economic forces/geography, career development and civic participation and engagement. This is as opposed to offering World History one year, American History another, and so on.
As we consider changes to our K-12 Social Studies curriculum, we want to ensure it is providing our students with a relevant and interesting course of study which will prepare them for life and work in the the 21st Century. It must also align with the Keystone Exams proposed for American history, world history, civics and government beginning in 2016-17.
