Guiding Principles
The Guiding Principles guide education in Maine and should be reflected throughout Social Studies curriculum. Examples of how
students can show evidence of those guiding principles in Social Studies may include:
A. Clear and Effective Communicator: Students research and use background knowledge to give audiovisual presentations
about current and historical issues.
B. Self-Directed and Lifelong Learner: Students generate questions and explore primary and secondary sources to answer
those questions while demonstrating a growth mindset.
C. Creative and Practical Problem Solver: Students draw conclusions about current and historical problems using valid research
and critical thinking.
D. Responsible and Involved Citizen: Students practice and apply the duties of citizenship through the exercise of constitutional
rights.
Year Long Learning Intentions: How the political process changes/changed from Revolution to Modern Times.
I can synthesize ideas and concepts using Primary and Secondary Sources.
I can identify symbols of the United States, how meanings change through time, and are used to influence the people.
How do conflict and compromise contribute to the creation of the American government?
