The document includes guidelines for units to support rigorous Social Studies instruction and promote historical thinking for elementary and middle-school students, and is being complemented in schools by carefully selected, content-rich texts and primary sources. “Social Studies has always been one of my favorite subjects, because it opens students’ eyes about the world around them and its history,” said Fariña. “Today’s curriculum demonstrates our commitment to rigorous, joyful Social Studies instruction that engages our teachers, students, and families. I am delighted that I was able to work with our city’s wonderful Social Studies teachers in developing this framework and these guidelines for units that will serve our great young minds.” “The new and improved Social Studies Scope and Sequence offers an innovative, rigorous approach to this core content area,” said Anna Commitante, cxecutive director of Curriculum, Instruction and Professional Development. “The focus is on supporting our educators and students as we introduce them to the wonderful Social Studies subjects: history, geography, economics, government, and civics. This enhanced framework is not only going to help us engage students in their Social Studies classes, but give them the crucial skills they need to think about and engage with the outside world.” In developing units of study and other resources that support implementation of the innovative Scope and Sequence, the Department of Education will work closely with local partners, including cultural institutions and renowned historians. As New York City students embrace the discipline and are challenged to think like social scientists themselves, the department will continue to consult these partners to ensure high-quality content and skills education. The new K-8 Scope and Sequence represents an important first step in the creation of comprehensive social studies resources for teachers that will improve classroom learning and -SEE STUDIES ON PG. 57- Agency Seminar On Small Businesses Assemblyman Mike Miller hosted a Small Business Seminar with the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) on Wednesday Sept. 24.
