Civics Curriculum Guide 2015-2016 Column 1: Standards The standards are the benchmarks that our state decides as what must be taught by teachers and learned by students in a given grade level and content area. These standards are assessed on the Civics End-of-Course Assessment. The standards are also the learning goals referred to in the new common board configuration. They do not change until they are mastered and may remain the same for days or weeks. The standard also serves as level 3 on the scale template because level 3 is the target level for mastery. It should be written on the scale word-for-word without being changed or adapted. Column 2: Skills and Concepts The skills are the verbs in the standard and are what students need to be able to do. The strategies in lessons and activities should align with the skills from the standard. The concepts are the nouns in the standards that are what students need to know. The content in lessons and activities should align with the concepts from the standard. Column 3: Assessment Process The assessment processes are the steps in the lessons provided by the Florida Joint Center for Citizenship. The FJCC curriculum is distributed in print by the district social studies department and can also be viewed or downloaded from FloridaCitizen.org. To use the website, you must create a free account and login. Each lesson begins with foundational skills and guides students to mastery of the standard. The extension activities in the lessons are level 4 on the scale template and are noted by a plus sign. Each of the steps in the assessment process are learning targets in the new common board configuration. These are the activities students will complete in order to master the standard. Column 4: Foundational Skills The foundational skills are essential vocabulary and concepts that students must understand to reach mastery level of each standard. Bolded terms are specifically mentioned in the EOC test item specifications. Column 5: Test Blueprint The test blueprint includes the number of items per benchmark, the complexity level of each item, and if the item includes a stimulus such as a chart, quotation, or picture which is represented in bold font. 1
