This is exciting news<\/a> for me as a co-author of the\u00a0College, Career and Civic (C3) Framework<\/a>\u00a0for the Social Studies, a long-time ally of the Illinois Civic Mission Coalition, and a friend of Shawn Healy:<\/p>\n

State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch has announced that he has requested a review of the state\u2019s arts and social studies education standards. …<\/p>\n

Another group of education partners will form a task force, led by the Illinois Civic Mission Coalition, to develop new social studies standards. The task force will consist of teachers representing various grades, as well as representatives from the disciplines of civics, economics, geography, history and sociology. The panel will review the College, Career and Civic Framework, which was published last fall by the National Council for the Social Studies, to guide its efforts. The group will also draw from the experiences of several other states that have recently embarked on a similar process.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrong social studies standards join the core disciplines of math, English language arts and science to help not only prepare students for college and careers, but for engagement in civic life,\u201d said Shawn P. Healy, chair of the Illinois Civic Mission Coalition and the Civic Learning and Engagement Scholar at the Robert R. McCormick Foundation. \u201cThis is a promising step in reviving the civic health of our state.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Other states–at least including New York, Connecticut, and Kentucky–are also using the C3\u00a0<\/em>to help revise their standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
