  • History and Social Science Standards Are Premised Upon a Rigorous and Relevant K-12 Social Studies Program Within Each District and School in the State
    History andArizona Social Science Standards DRAFT: March, 2018 Introduction Since the founding of this Nation, education and democracy have gone hand in hand...[Thomas] Jefferson and the Founders believed a nation that governs itself, like ours, must rely upon an informed and engaged electorate. Their purpose was not only to teach all Americans how to read and write but to instill the self-evident truths that are the anchors of our political system. Ronald Reagan An important aspect of our Republic is that an educated and engaged citizenry is vital for the system to work. In a government where the final authority and sovereignty rests with the people, our local, state, and federal governments will only be as responsive as the citizens demand them to be. Preparing students for the 21st century cannot be accomplished without a strong emphasis on civics, economics, geography, and history – the core disciplines of the social studies. It is imperative that each generation gains an understanding of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to participate fully in civic life in a rapidly changing world. The Arizona History and Social Science Standards are premised upon a rigorous and relevant K-12 social studies program within each district and school in the state. Engaging students in the pursuit of active, informed citizenship will require a broad range of understandings and skills including: Think analytically by • Posing and framing questions • Gathering a variety of evidence • Recognizing continuity and detecting change over time • Utilizing

A the fusing of two influences possessing widely divergent backgrounds.. When the American pioneers, largely of northern European descent, first came into this region in the· middle of the 19th century they found portions of it already settled by people of Spanish origin. This 'latter group had first established itself in southern Arizona a century and a half earlier; when the English colonists, were settling the Atlantic seaboard'. Spanish laws, customs, political, re­ ligious and economic institutions had already become firmly implanted there. These two ethnological elements, aside from the. aboriginal Indian populati()n, have given Arizona, .in common with the other neighboring southwestern states, . a uniqueness in character. The story of the westward movement of the English­ speaking peoples in the United States is a familiar one.

    100 Years of Public Service A Message From Our Secretary of State For more than one hundred years, the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records has dedicated itself to preserving our state’s rich history and providing continued public access to the historical documents that tell the story of our magnificent state. On March 24, 2015 we celebrate the Centennial Anniversary of the official creation of the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records as an institution of the state. Few cultural institutions have the type of impact community libraries have on our society. With more than twenty-five million visits to more than two hundred libraries in Arizona each year, libraries are a critical thread in the fabric that forms our communities. Libraries make information and entertainment available to the masses whether it be the printed word or online access still unavailable to many in our state. Today, libraries are growing services to serve as job hubs for those seeking employment and as technology centers making advancements such as 3D printers accessible to everyone. In an era of unpreceded technological advancement, the State Library, Archives and Public Records division’s mission is more important than ever before. If we are to understand the present to plan for the future, we must have access to the past. Please enjoy this wonderful publication commemorating our one hundred years of public service!
