Massachusetts DESE’s History and Social Science guiding principles emphasize continuous, high-quality instruction that builds civic knowledge, historical thinking, and informed citizenship. Students examine democratic institutions, multiple perspectives, and the experiences of diverse groups while developing skills in inquiry, research, and evidence-based reasoning. Instruction integrates history, civics, geography, economics, current events, and literacy to promote critical thinking, media awareness, and meaningful engagement with the world today. |
