Social Sciences

Social Sciences education includes the study of civics, economics, geography, and history and aims to help students develop as rational, humane, and productive citizens in a democratic society. The Social Science Standards provide educators with guidance for selecting and designing learning. The Social Sciences instructional materials and resources button includes information for districts, schools, teachers, parents, and students on books and other instructional materials aligned to the social science standards. Additional resources and curriculum are available at Oregon Open Learning. Past Social Science newsletters are available under the Newsletter Archive button.
