At Teaching Tolerance, we recognize the importance of both rigor and relevance—and we also recognize that content standards are an important tool for many educators. That’s why we’ve referenced two widely used frameworks in our classroom resources: the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Social Studies State Standards.
You’ll find the CCSS embedded in select TT lessons as well as in all the teaching strategies and Write to the Source student tasks. Moreover, the texts in the Perspectives library were selected to meet the complexity requirements of the CCSS. Perspectives texts are also tagged and searchable by C3 discipline: civics, economics, geography and history.
