Social Studies Education
Social Studies Education is divided into 4 domains that every course supports: civics, economics, geography, and history.
Civics: throughout middle school, students will learn to apply understanding of the ideals and purposes of founding documents, the principles and structures of the constitutional government in the United States, and the American political system to analyze interrelationships among civics, government and politics in the past and the present, in Florida, the United States and the world.
Economics: throughout middle school, students will learn to apply the concepts and processes from economics that affect decision-making, the development of economic systems, the interdependence of national and international economies, and theories of personal finance.
Geography: throughout middle school, students will learn to analyze the physical, human and environmental geography of Florida, the United States and various regions of the world to evaluate the interdependent relationships and challenges facing human systems in the past, present, and future
History: throughout middle school, students will learn to evaluate a variety of primary and secondary sources to apply knowledge of major eras, enduring themes, turning points and historic influences to analyze the forces of continuity and change in the community, the state, the United States and the world.
