I want to know why as a district we cannot include a "standardized test", at more than just the high school level, to test SS skills, so we as a district can at least treat SS as it deserves to be treated.

I have learned that we all have a passion for subjects under the social studies umbrella. We are all worried about how social studies takes the back burner to the core subjects of numeracy and literacy. Social Studies needs both of those skills, but those core subjects need us as well. We teach thinking, inference skills, and how to analyze and decode information.

How do we teach our kids to think as a socially informed citizen at the local level, national level, and global level?l
