Standards, Benchmarks, Objectives (SBO)
The K-12 social studies curriculum was reviewed during the 2019-2020 school year. Committee members at all levels reviewed the standards, benchmarks and objectives from the IA Core Social Studies Standards. These objectives clearly articulate what we expect all students to know, understand and be able to do. With the new standards, there is an increased focus on the inquiry process. This is articulated K-12 through Inquiry Standards alongside the content standards.
