Social Studies

The Grade Level Content Expectations provide educators with clearly defined statements of what all students should know and be able to do as they progress from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Serving as a guide, these expectations support educators as they create exciting and engaging classrooms where students attain the highest standards.

The expectations are divided into strands with multiple domains within each. Links to each strand are shown below.
