Frameworks for Science and Social Studies

Based on the Washington State Essential Learnings

Here in Washington State, we think of educational Frameworks as the sequence of standards within various content areas. We are given the standards for grades 4,7, and 10; the Frameworks offer suggestions for what connecting standards might be at the other grades--thereby offering instructional and assessment guidance.

In Skagit Valley Network 2 (1997-98), teachers needed frameworks in science and social studies in order to build appropriate grade level classroom based performance assessments.

The seven districts collaborating on this project chose several state provided standards for their chosen content area, then developed K-10 frameworks which they shared with peers before using these "standards" as guides for the development of performance assessments.

Here you will find K-10 science and social studies sequence developed by successful practitioners.
