CHANGE #1
THE NEW SOCIAL STUDIES ESSENTIAL STANDARDS ARE WRITTEN USING THE REVISED BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
Provides the cognitive framework used for all of the North Carolina Essential Standards
Provides common language for all curriculum areas
Use of one verb in a standard/objective
Slide Adapted from Arter, Judy, Jan Chappuis, Stephen Chappuis, and Richard Stiggins. Classroom Assessment for Student Learning: Doing It Right-Using It Well. Educational Testing Service, 2006.
REVISED BLOOM’S TAXONOMY USES THE 25 VERBS BELOW.
• Do not add to the 25 verbs • When you begin adding the specificity needed in
identifying the cognitive behavior and use of a common language loses its fidelity.
6
This two dimensional table is used to help determine the type of knowledge and targeted cognitive behavior of a standard.
The knowledge dimension tells you the type of knowledge that the standard wants the student to acquire.
The cognitive dimension tells you the verb which, in turn, informs you of what the student is supposed to do with the type of learning.
The majority of the total K-12 clarifying objectives have been written to the understand level of RBT and at a level of conceptual knowledge.
CHANGE #2
THE NEW SOCIAL STUDIES ESSENTIAL STANDARDS ARE ORGANIZED AROUND FIVE (5) CONCEPTUAL STRANDS
In order to develop fewer standards, which was the charge from the NC State Board of Education, NC SS consolidated the 10 national thematic strands 5 conceptual strands.
The strands provide a framework by which to organize concepts, generalizations and critical content
that are important for understanding
the disciplines of social studies.
NATIONAL THEMATIC STRANDS
CHANGE # 3
THE NEW SOCIAL STUDIES ESSENTIAL STANDARDS ARE WRITTEN TO A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The old standards and curriculum are topic-based and are written to focus primarily on facts.
The new conceptually-written standards and curriculum are broadly stated and focus on concepts and transferable ideas.
The topics and facts still have to be taught; however, the new essential standards are designed to move beyond the topics and facts to focus on conceptual ideas and generalizations that transfer.
WHAT IS CONCEPT-BASED CURRICULUM AND
INSTRUCTION?
The Concept-Based Curriculum & Instructional Framework is a three-dimensional design model that allows teachers to identify what is important for students to know, understand, and be able to do in a organized, planned unit of instruction that promotes student engagement and thinking. During instruction, teachers use concepts as a tool to help students see patterns and connections between facts and related ideas in order to reach a deeper understanding of the content.

Learning Topically
To Teaching
&
Learning Conceptually
The Paradigm Shift: Conceptual Focus
Traditional Standards and Curriculum… are topic-based and focus mostly on
the facts
History: Colonial Era, Lost Colony American Revolution, American Civil War
Cultural Geography: South America and Europe, Swahili, Aborigines, Buddhism
Civics & Economics: American Revolution, U.S. capitalism, Brown vs. Board of Education, mercantilism
Conceptual Standards and Curriculum… are concept-based and focused on
“transferable ideas”
History: continuity and change, leadership, revolution, war, conflict
Cultural Geography: climate change, location, resources, environmental challenges, human migration, cultural development
Civics & Economics: scarcity, justice, freedom, authority, trade
The Structure Of Knowledge
People migrate to meet a variety of needs.
Migration may lead to new opportunities
or greater freedom.• Migration • Opportunity • Needs • Freedom
U.S. Westward Movement
Early American settlers migrated west.
Early American settlers looked for new opportunities.

Looking at a topic through a “conceptual lens” engages the personal intellect and emotions of the student so that they…
gain a deeper level of understanding
retain the factual information because it has relevance
are motivated to take ownership of their learning
