Elementary History/Social Studies Resources

Students in SFUSD engage in daily social studies instruction (through both integrated and stand-alone units). As our department explores curriculum, eventually there will be three, 5-7 week stand alone units for each grade level that can alternate with Science units during the year. We're currently in the process of piloting potential curricula.  Before moving to adoption we would need to evaluate and pilot potential options. Due to our District's financial budgetary constraints and making sure that teachers can focus on the newly adopted ELA curriculum, it will not be feasible to get to adoption this upcoming school year. However, our team is committed to trying to provide ongoing social studies resources to teachers across K-5. Social Studies instruction prioritizes building a strong foundation in community and the understanding that every community member (citizen) has a voice in the ways our communities function and are built. We explore history/social studies as windows to the past and present while working together to intentionally build a classroom community rooted in the SFUSD Humanizing Values (knowledge of self, solidarity, and self-determination) and core concepts of Ethnic Studies.
