Introduction
In 2014, the Shelby County Schools Board of Education adopted a set of ambitious, yet attainable goals for school and student performance.
The District is committed to these goals, as further described in our strategic plan, Destination 2025.
By 2025,
80% of our students will graduate from high school college or career ready
90% of students will graduate on time
100% of our students who graduate college or career ready will enroll in a post-secondary opportunity.
In order to achieve these ambitious goals, we must collectively work to provide our students with high-quality, College and Career Ready standards-aligned instruction. Acknowledging the need to develop competence in literacy and language as the foundations for all learning,
Shelby County Schools developed the Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan (CLIP). The CLIP ensures a quality balanced literacy approach to instruction that results in high levels of literacy learning for all students, across content areas. Destination 2025 and the CLIP establish common goals and expectations for student learning across schools and are the underpinning for the development of the
Elementary Social Studies curriculum maps.
Designed with the teacher in mind, the Elementary Social Studies curriculum maps focus on integrating literacy skills and strategies with content standards. This map presents a framework for organizing instruction around the TN State Standards (CCRA) so that every student meets or exceeds requirements for college and career readiness. The standards define what to teach at specific grade levels, and this map provides guidelines and research-based approaches for implementing instruction to ensure students achieve their highest potentials.
Shelby County Schools’ Social Studies Instructional Map 2015 1
A standards-based curriculum, performance-based learning and assessments, and high quality instruction are at the heart of the Social
Studies Curriculum guides. Educators will use this guide and the standards as a road map for curriculum and instruction. Carefully crafted curricular sequences and quality instructional resources enable teachers to devote more time and energy in delivering instruction and assessing the effectiveness of instruction for all learners in their classrooms, including those with special learning needs.
How to Use the Social Studies Curriculum Maps
Our collective goal is to ensure our students graduate ready for college and career. This will require a comprehensive, integrated approach to literacy instruction that ensures that students become college and career ready readers, writers, and communicators. To achieve this, it is essential that literacy strategy and skill instruction be purposefully and appropriately planned and embedded within social studies. Students must employ essential literacy strategies that explicitly demonstrate the application of reading, writing, and thinking strategies to support learning in social studies.
The integration of literacy and social studies is critical for student success. This curriculum map is designed to help teachers make effective decisions about what Social Studies content to teach and how to teach it so that, ultimately, our students can reach Destination 2025. To reach our collective student achievement goals, we know that teachers must change their instructional practice in alignment the with the three
College and Career Ready shifts in instruction for ELA/Literacy. We should see these three shifts in all SCS literacy classrooms:
(1) Regular practice with complex text and its academic language.
(2) Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational.
(3) Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction.
Throughout this curriculum map, you will see high-quality texts that students should be reading, as well as some resources and tasks to support you in ensuring that students are able to reach the demands of the standards in your classroom. In addition to the resources embedded in the map, there are some high-leverage resources around each of the three shifts that teachers should consistently access:
The TNCore Literacy Standards
The TNCore Literacy Standards (also known as the
College and Career Ready Literacy Standards): http://www.tncore.org/english_language_arts.aspx
Teachers can access the TNCore standards, which are featured throughout this curriculum map and represent college and career ready student learning at each respective grade level.

Curriculum Maps, Elementary Social Studies
Our 2015-2016 Social Studies curriculum maps have some new features we would like to share with you, as well as point out some information that will better help you utilize this resource. In addition, this map should guide you in planning for daily instruction.
Each map is divided into three columns: (1) TN State Social Studies Standards, (2) I Can Statements & Vocabulary, (3) Instructional
Activities &Resources
Each standard has a “Content Strand Code.” The codes are as follows: C – Culture, E – Economics, G – Geography, H – History, P –
Government, Civics, and Politics, and TN – Tennessee Connection. For more information about the definition of each strand go to: http://tn.gov/education/standards/social_studies/std_ss_coding_document.pdf
In support of the Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan (CLIP), each instructional map has English Language Arts (ELA) standards imbedded in the Activities/Instructional Resources column (coded in green), as well as sample integrated ELA lesson plans at the end of each quarter.
