| The Social Studies Proficiency Guide |  |
Indiana has developed a Social Studies Proficiency Guide to aid schools in their own curriculum development. The Proficiency Guide is not intended to be a prescribed curriculum and it does not take the place of local school curricula or teacher course and lesson planning. Instead, it should serve as a tool for year-to-year and long-range curriculum development at the local level. It is intended to outline the kinds of learning opportunities that should be available to students in a high-quality social studies program. It is expected that schools and individual teachers will adapt any materials that they use, including this Proficiency Guide to the needs and interests of their students. |
