Social Studies Department Program Review
∙∙∙

Implementation Timeline (Anticipated Start/Finish): 6/1/2019 - 6/1/2021
Key Personnel: K-12 Social Studies Teachers, Learning Support Teachers, Social Studies Academic Leadership
Council Members, PRSD Principals, and Assistant Superintendents
Major Action Steps: (1) Research, select, and determine costs of NCSS Ten Themes and Career Education and
Work (CEW) materials; (2) Conduct professional development and training of new resources; (3) Revise and/or
construct written curriculum to reflect integration of Ten Themes and CEW Standards; (5) Monitor implementation
of Ten Themes and CEW Standards for consistency across courses via lesson plans, monthly department meetings,
common assessments, walk throughs, and observations; and (6) Reflect, after the 2019 - 2020 school year, to
evaluate and clarify revisions.
Estimated Budget/Resources: There will be costs associated with professional development and purchase of
training and/or resources.
Potential Implications (Short-Term and Long-Term): Ongoing professional development and modeling will be
needed for staff. The integration of the ten themes and C3 Framework should help prepare students to be
college/career ready and engaged citizens. As a result of these changes, students should be better prepared to
demonstrate their mastery of Social Studies as reflected by the learning goals and big ideas in the written curriculum.
