The mission of the social studies teachers is to modify existing programs, expand course offerings, and create new curriculum models. These models will be based on current social studies research, National and State Frameworks, and proven pedagogical strategies. Curriculum will be clearly defined, meet the demands of the Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993 and still focus on traditional geographical and historical concepts. By identifying Pre-K-12 scope and sequence skills, with emphasis on grade level benchmarks for student achievement, new curricula will be designed to foster higher-level thinking skills and encourage students to become active rather than passive learners.
