The College Career and Civic Life (C3) Framework, published by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) IN 2013 represents the latest thinking in standards development that leads to high quality teaching and learning. This session will focus on better understanding the implications the C3 Framework has for developing a logical scope and sequence as well as developing aligned curriculum.

During our time together, we will:
- Develop a common understanding of the instructional/assessment expectations of the C3 Framework.
- Determine the non-negotiables of curriculum design for grades middle and high school.
- Evaluate existing curricula and refine to align to the instructional expectations of the C3 Framework and the ISKL non-negotiables.
