TENNESSEE SOCIAL STUDIES STATE STANDARDS CAN BE RETRIEVED AT: http://www.tennessee.gov/education/standards/social_studies.shtml Social Studies Codes C-Culture Culture encompasses similarities and differences among people including their beliefs, knowledge, changes, values, and traditions. Students will explore these elements of society to develop an appreciation and respect for the variety of human cultures. E-Economics Globalization of the economy, the explosion of population growth, technological changes and international competition compel students to understand both personally and globally production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Students will examine and analyze economic concepts such as basic needs versus wants, using versus saving money, and policy making versus decision making. G-Geography Geography enables the students to see, understand and appreciate the web of relationships between people, places, and environments. Students will use the knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts within the six essential elements of geography: world in spatial terms, places and regions, physical systems, human systems, environment and society, and the uses of geography. H-History History involves people, events, and issues. Students will evaluate evidence to develop comparative and casual analyses, and to interpret primary sources. They will construct sound historical arguments and perspectives on which informed decisions in contemporary life can be based. P-Government, Civics, and Politics Governance establishes structures of power and authority in order to provide order and stability. Civic efficacy requires understanding rights and responsibilities, ethical behavior, and the role of citizens within their community, nation, and world. TN-Tennessee Connection Tennessee has a unique story and provides a more intimate view of the past in our present lives. As students connect with their own state’s history and geography they will gain a greater perspective of the impact and significance of national history, movements, decisions, and ideas.
