Archdiocesan Curriculum Grades K-12 Social Studies Curriculum
C3 Framework, Course Outcomes, Unit Concepts and Unit Goals with C3 Framework Integration
_____________________________________________________________________
/
Organization of the Archdiocesan Social Studies Curriculum Course Outcomes Course Outcomes describe what students should know and be able to do at the end of each grade (for grades PK-8) and each specific course (for grades 9-12). They are the highest priorities for outcomes for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City students at each grade. Course Outcomes should be used by individual teachers and teams of teachers at each school who teach the same grade. They should be used as a reference and periodic check to make sure that unit and lesson planning during the year is on track at a specific grade. They should also be used to ensure that the same content is not being taught at multiple grades. Course Outcomes are not meant to have a 1:1 connection with units of instruction. Each unit can cover parts of one or more than one Course Outcome. The Course Outcomes are essential outcomes that should be thoroughly taught and learned throughout the year. They are not presented in a chronological sequence for instruction. They are not expected to be mastered in one unit. Unit Concepts, Goals, and Sequence Unit Concepts provide the specific concepts that should be the focus of each unit of instruction for each grade (grades PK-8) or course (grades 9-12). These are the “titles” of the units. Unit Goals provide the expectations for what students should be able to do with knowledge, skills, and practices related to the unit concept. Unit Concepts and Unit Goals are meant to provide anchors for the development of units and lessons. They provide specific big ideas, practices, and skills that should be pursued through individual lessons and entire units. The Units are expected to be taught in the sequence in which they are provided in the Archdiocesan curriculum. Within each unit, Lesson Concepts (see below) can be determined and taught in the sequence determined by the teacher to be most e�ective for his or her class. Likewise, the approach used to teach each unit and lesson is to be determined by the teacher, considering the content, skills, and practices involved; the resources available; and the needs of his/her students. A broad range of instructional strategies and resources should be considered when designing units and lessons to help students achieve the Unit Goals. Students are expected to thoroughly know and be able to use the concepts, practices, and skills across multiple contexts. Therefore, all lessons and instruction in a given unit should be linked back to the Unit Goal. While it is important to establish factual content knowledge that knowledge should always be learned in the service of the performances students are expected to demonstrate, as articulated in the Unit Goals.

Integration of C3 Framework The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City’s Social Studies curriculum was written referencing the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards. We chose to adopt the C3 Framework as our standards in lieu of Oklahoma’s state standards. This decision was made to ensure that the appropriate skills were being taught in the context of our social studies classrooms. The C3 Framework encourages teachers to participate in an inquiry arc that engages students in the learning process by asking them compelling questions related to the four social studies disciplines of civics, economics, geography and history. Students seek answers to compelling questions using the disciplines as lenses in their investigations. Students learn how to utilize quality sources and communicate their findings in meaningful ways or by taking meaningful action. In addition being listed with their corresponding course outcomes and unit goals, a set of charts which show the progression of the standards within the Team/Department are provided, along with a chart showing which standards are being used with which units in the corresponding grade.
C3 Framework for Grades K-2
Below you’ll find the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards with all K-12 standards.
