The motion Carried. 6-0 (Fred Coronado absent) 10.41 Bryant Middle School, Social Studies Curriculum Adoption Recently, California adopted a new Social Studies History Framework. There have been four shifts in the History Social Science Framework. The first is a content shift that is more thematic across grade levels. For example, Grades 4,5,8,11,12 are all US history and have a reoccurring topic of "Freedom." Secondly, the framework has shifted to more inquiry based learning and teaching students analysis skills such as the importance of chronological and spatial thinking, research, evidence, point of view, historical interpretation, understanding relationships between events, chronological understanding, and understanding bias, perspective and corroboration. The third shift is incorporating literacy or learning how to read and write in the content areas. This means moving beyond just vocabulary and content comprehension and really working with students to learn how to identify and read various texts, including primary sources and other informational texts that often entail vocabulary, reading, writing, and discourse patterns that are difficult for students. The final shift is towards citizenship or helping students to understand the relationship between the citizen and the state and providing opportunities for civic engagement and education. Bryant Staff reviewed various state adopted curriculums at an adoption fair this spring, then narrowed the choices down to two, TCI and Pearson. Over the summer, Bryant staff reviewed the two curriculums using a Social Studies Adoption Tool Kit. The Tool Kit helped us to review the curriculum in the areas of: content alignment, inquiry alignment, Common Core and ELD alignment, citizenship alignment, Access and Equity, assessment, and local priorities alignment. Bryant Staff has selected Pearson, myworld Interactive. The adoption
Board Minutes Page 26 includes both digital and print materials, as well as professional development. Through the evaluation process, Bryant staff discovered that although both curriculums equally addressed the four shifts, as well as the other components in the tool kit, Pearson was a more student friendly text and program. Staff thought that overall, students would be more engaged with the Pearson curriculum.
