 Hi everybody, I'm Katrina Gotchell from ESU 8 and this is the first resource video that I'm going to be sharing out. My goal is to share out a great resource with you once a week so as to not to overwhelm you but hopefully get you some great resources that you can use in your classroom with your students and can enhance your instruction and curriculum as well. This is our ESU social studies website if you're not familiar with it I'm going to include the link in this email, but I just wanted to take a little bit of time to take you through this website show you what it could offer you. So first of all you can see across the top here that there are some great tabs the first one courses are state standards that were updated in 2019. You can look at those state standards by grade level. And of course you have some of that were unbanded in this latest revision as well. You also have access to this great social studies sit tool which takes you to a Google drive folder, and you can see that there are frameworks that are broken up from the 12 and six to eight and if you open up this document, it will allow you to go through the frameworks based on those content areas specifically. And also, down here you can look and see that there are fourth grade social studies fifth grade social studies. And then if you look at this final document. This is a really great document because it has all of the standards and indicators, all the grades across the bottom. It has what the resource is and the justification of that use of the resource. And so these are all high quality vetted materials that could be put into practice in your classroom which is very helpful to have. So I'm going to go back to our main page here. So that is that tab. Up here you'll see the tab for C three frameworks of course the C three framework was introduced into the latest revision of the social studies standards it stands for college career and civic ready. And this link will take you to the C three frameworks website. And it takes you through the great guiding principles of the three C three frameworks. This is really a focus on instructional shift in the classroom. So while the content may not be drastically different in the 2019 standards. There is a pretty significant instructional shift that's being called for regarding those standards. So this is an area where you feel like you might need some assistance, or you'd like to have me take a look at your curriculum. So that's that. And I am working on hopefully putting together a workshop that focuses specifically on the C three standards and this inquiry design model as well. So with the inquiry design model, you can click on this link. And there is a template that comes from the book. Focusing on the inquiry design model. And there's also some model lessons and also some really great resources down here that are connected to inquiry design as well. And over here, there's another tab called lesson resources. There's primary resources and then also Nebraska specific resources. And then I have had several questions from folks asking about high quality instructional materials and so we will also be working on a workshop that focuses on this but in the meantime this tab is really great. Because there are some places that have done some really great work on finding some high quality instructional materials, and then also Nebraska social studies has an instructional material suggestion list. And then over here our final tab is laws and policies. So this is a tab you can unpack, and this will address the civics education bill as long as well as American ism statutes multiculturalism statutes character education laws. All of those things that are embedded into those standards as well and maybe you need to just flush out a little bit for yourself. So this is the ESU eight social studies website. Again, if you have any questions at all about social studies your curriculum how to embed some of that that instructional shift into your lessons. Digital tools, any of that please feel free to reach out to me. My email address is here at the bottom of the website as well as the phone number for me here at ESU eight and nearly. I hope you have a great day. Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.
