Common Core Grade 9-12 Social Studies Framework and Graduation
Requirements
– The Committee continued their discussions around graduation requirements for social studies and the grades 9-12 social studies frameworks.
The Social Studies Content Advisory Panel met in October 2012 and recommends, consistent with the Board discussion in September, that the Global History and Geography course of study be divided into two separate and distinct units of study required for graduation. The Panel presented three options for this, where all three options include a Unit of Study 1 and a Unit of Study 2. The Panel further recommends that if only one Regents exam were to be offered, that it focus only on Unit of Study 2. Staff will gather feedback from the field concerning the development of these frameworks and bring back additional recommendations to the Committee at a future meeting. [P-12 (D) 2]
