Social Studies

What Are We Learning?

Wake County Public Schools Middle School Social Studies classes provide students the study of the world from the Age of Exploration to contemporary times in order to understand the implications of increased global interactions. This course guides students through patterns of change and continuity with a focus on conflict and cooperation, economic development, population shifts, political thought and organization, cultural values and beliefs, five themes of geography, and the impact of the environment over time. Your student’s teacher provides strong instruction using standards-aligned curricula resources that emphasizes close reading, active learning and student engagement. Classrooms are structured with highly collaborative activities that allow students to engage in academic conversations and study rich academic topics.
