Evidence-based argument sets (EBAS) are open-ended assessments that students will be expected to complete as part of each MCAP assessment. Course pre-assessments, suggested formative assessments, and summative assessments focus on historical thinking skills that will be included in MCAP. Because they are open-ended, they could be administered asynchronously. The Social Studies office suggests assessing content through constructed responses.  If you choose to assess through selected response, you should administer them synchronously in an effort to maintain assessment integrity.

Can BMORE Me be infused within the existing curriculum units rather than being taught as a standalone piece at the beginning? I taught it this way with my 9th grade U.S. history courses and found it helped when students had more background knowledge on the time period they were comparing to the present.

I like the pacing of these units, I think this pace (daily & over the course of the unit) will be more beneficial for students. Like someone else mentioned, I think it is important now to think about how to ensure adequate and accurate coverage of Black, Indigenous, Latinx and Asian history as the gov scope and sequence isn't always geared toward representing those groups in how we discuss government/ how it is assessed.

I love the resources embedded for the Am Gov scope and sequence. I am frustrated that we have the potential to be creative and flexible this year, but feel that the pressure to get through content that may appear on an end of year high stakes test combined with less instructional time will severely limit any creativity. Is there political will within the DO to advocate for exemptions again this year for standardized tests?
