IMPORTANT ADOPTION INFORMATION:<br />
Everett Public Schools is doing a secondary Social Studies adoption with new materials to be implemented in the fall of 2015. The grade levels are middle school (6, 7, 8) and high school (10, 11, 12). We are looking for materials that meet these criteria: free of bias; full alignment with Washington State Social Studies Standards and Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies (integration of Reading, Writing, Language, and Speaking/Listening strands); alignment with 21st century skills, deeper learning support, and research-based best practices in Social Studies instruction and assessment; standards-aligned, leveled formative and summative assessment resources, including inquiry-based performance tasks; inclusion of resources for enrichment and challenge, as well as intervention, support, and accessibility to special populations (SpEd and ELL); extensive print, digital, and online instructional resources and an online textbook; strong vertical cohesion through the grades; support for students and parents outside of the classroom.<br />
<br />
Please note especially the content focus of each grade level: <br />
6th Grade - World History; 7th Grade - Washington State History/Government (including tribal history) and World Geography; 8th Grade – U.S. History and Government (from the Revolution to the early 20th century); 10th Grade – World History (1450 to the present); 11th Grade – U.S. History and Government (primarily 20th and 21st centuries); 12th Grade – Civics/Government (primarily U.S. government). <br />
<br />
Please note also that we are interested in core instructional materials, structured simulations, primary and secondary sources, simulations, document-based questioning and responses, history and social science lenses, Common Core integration, and technology resources.<br />
