Introduction
The social studies writers have developed units to meet the expectations of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Social Studies and English Language Arts Companion Standards for History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects. These units are designed for US History I, US History II, and World History courses and include the Civics, Geography, Economics, and Historical Perspective strands.
As you review these documents, please refer to New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Social Studies and for English Language Arts Companion Standards for History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects.
As the Department moves forward with the Model Curriculum Project, additional resources will be provided to assist districts. The Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) are intended to provide clear targets to assist in the daily planning of lessons and the development of curriculum units.
Assessments will be designed to measure how well students have met the targets. Teachers are encouraged to use the assessment data to determine if additional learning experiences are necessary for their students.
A note about the integration of the standards for social studies and English Language Arts Companion Standards for History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects in the units:
