I am and always will be, at heart, a Social Studies Teacher. Social Studies Teacher is capitalized because it is such a cool title. I stress this title here, and maybe a little forcefully, to establish my interest in understanding the Colorado Academic Standards for Social Studies and the standardized assessment coming in the near future. I have seen a field-test for 4th grade students and I have gone through the practice questions for 7th graders. We are going to have a secondary level Social Studies meeting primarily to have a dialogue about, well...Social Studies. The article I have linked to here does a fantastic job of explaining how I have also come to interpret the direction of Social Studies and education. Check out the article, then please watch my little podcast and share your thoughts.
