1 Social Studies Curriculum Map Volusia County Schools American Government
2 UNDERSTANDING THE CURRICULUM MAPS If you look at the document entitled, Social Studies Curriculum Mapping Teaching With a Purpose in Mind, you will see a chart that shows the basic framework for our curriculum maps. Everything begins with the purpose, the Organizing Principle. The OP is like a thesis statement in an essay. It provides the direction for an essay and lets the reader know what the writer is trying to prove. Similarly, an OP provides direction for a unit of study in a classroom. It lets the student know what you as a teacher are trying to prove. All the concepts, essential questions, skills and vocabulary that you teach should come back to the Organizing Principle in some way. By the end of the unit of instruction, a student should be able to look the Organizing Principle and prove it to you (or perhaps in some instances, disprove it). The words Essential Questions are used in the maps because these are items essential to the coverage area, the things students should absolutely know. The same holds true for the concepts and terms. The activities listed are examples of Social Studies activities that should go on in classrooms regularly and they correspond to the types of reading, writing and thinking skills tested on FCAT, SAT, AP, IB and other assessments. On the back side of the maps, you will find examples of teaching resources and assessment. These are only examples of some of the items you can use to teach the unit. One thing to keep in mind is that each of our courses are survey-type courses; we cannot possibly teach everything there is to know about geography and history. We are bound to the Sunshine State Standards and have a responsibility to teach the necessary timeline (for instance, in American History teachers should make it to contemporary periods). The maps are designed to help teachers determine areas of coverage and to avoid trying to teaching 34 chapters in a textbook. Instead the maps are designed around the Organizing Principles and teachers are encouraged to use a variety of resources to teach the content and skills. The textbook should be merely one of the resources. The mapping teams have done a great job on the maps but something important to know is the curriculum maps are not static documents, they are dynamic and open to revision. If you have questions or suggestions about specific teaching units please use the reflection pages to note ideas. Jason Caros Social Studies Curriculum Specialist Volusia County Schools
