The youth of North Carolina will spend their adult lives in the twenty-first
century; therefore, the need for a social studies education that develops
their knowledge, skills, and attitudes requisite to live effectively in this
century is more crucial than ever before.
What historical, geographic, political, social, and cultural knowledge is fundamental for the youth of North Carolina to achieve good citizenship, strong leadership, and a rich cultural life? How can breadth and depth co-exist to provide our youth wide examination, deep reflection, the acquisition of knowledge and skills, and the development of citizenship and values? Tarry Lindquist in Ways that Work noted, "The most precious gift we can give our students is time to read from many books, time to research questions, time to wrestle with conflicting interpretations, time to wander through divergent paths of social studies, and time to revisit previous questions in a new context." -NCDPI- |
