VIII.6. Approval of Middle School Social Studies Texts
Description:
The District recommends approval of a middle school social studies test. When discussing the need for an updated resource Bret McGraw, teacher of middle school social studies, shared the following:
With a focus on literacy for the district, this textbook provides excellent rich, authentic writing for students to gain an understanding of the various components of our government system. Our previous book was printed in 2001, leaving a lot of holes to fill based on the ever changing government processes and structures. (They reference a campaign finance law from '96 that is no longer viable- from Supreme Court Decision in 2010). The updated text will give students a more accurate and up-to-date look at how our government works. The government itself is quite abstract for 13-year-olds and having more current information and examples that the text provides will help to make these concepts more accessible to students. The book also contains lots of online practice for each chapter. This is an excellent opportunity for our Tier 2 students to get practice with the concepts if they do not quite understand the material. It could also be considered a universal screener to give me a baseline for what students know or don't know coming into a new chapter. I am very excited about the prospect of having current information to help guide students through the essential ideas and processes of our government.
