HI Kimberlee, All content teachers are required to integrate and document the integration of all reading, writing and when possible math standards. My district has adopted the National History Standards 5-12 as the guide to use and we are currently working on a k-12 curriculum that will include all literacy areas. Rhode Island has not adopted standards for History/Social Studies yet, so each district is struggling through that process. This is the site for my states department of ed., lots of good ideas and/or at least a place to start. Sorry I can't attach our curriculum for you but it is not ready at this time.
This is Rhode Islands http://www.ride.ri.gov/Default.aspx Connecticut also has a pretty good site http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/site/default.asp and I refer to Maryland's site a lot for curriculum ideas http://www.marylandpublicschools.org/MSDE http://www.chariho.k12.ri.us/teach_learn/standards_based_classrooms.htm Some thoughts to help with a mission and vision statement for your department Linda On 7/18/07, kimberlee hannan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am sitting down with a few teachers in my department soon to put > together > three sets of standards: reading, writing, and history.
