| Social Studies | Our vision for our K-12 social studies curriculum is focused on an inquiry framework/model that empowers students to become active meaning-makers who seek deep understanding and are able to transfer their learning. As teachers, we are facilitators of meaning versus primary dispensers of information or modelers of a skill.
The Vision for Wisconsin Social Studies as written in 2015 by the State Superintendent’s K-12 Social Studies Advisory Committee:
Wisconsin students will become civically engaged problem solvers who critically examine their roles in local, regional, state, national, and global communities. Through the study and application of the individual disciplines of social studies (behavioral sciences, economics, geography, history, and political science), students become lifelong learners able to collaborate and thrive in our interdependent world.
