Introduction
Several teachers from WSFCS met and developed a pacing guide/curriculum document for North Carolina History starting in 2008-2009, a document that will undergo review and revisions as necessary. The goal was to establish a realistic pacing guide based on 126-160 actual instructional days full of suggested ideas to successfully cover the curriculum. Lastly, the committee members included relevant (and helpful) information for teachers to use based on best teaching practices that are research-based, so that teachers can use such resources to modify their instruction and empower them to develop features (such as Essential Questions) on their own.
Preparing students for the workplace, college, and an increasingly global society lies at the heart of Social Studies instruction. With the new graduation focus on preparing students for the 21st Century workplace, it has become even more important to develop strong academic students and to prepare them in the best way possible to succeed in a global society.
How can the Pacing Guides be used?
• To guide instructional pacing so that key areas receive proper attention by including helpful information such as…
o Suggested number of days per unit
o Thematic Concepts in each unit
o Factual Content to cover (people, events, places, treaties, wars, acts to recognize and recall)
o Vocabulary lists to help teachers focus on building a student’s academic vocabulary by using word walls and word maps
o Target Goals for students to accomplish by the end of units
o Global Connections that can be extensions of the NC Standard Course of Study
o The NC Standard Course of Study for easy reference
• To establish with teachers quarterly benchmarks for units of study that should be complete by the end of each quarter to insure a rich and complete curriculum. Students who transfer from one school to another during the school year can best be served by sharing pacing between schools in the district.
• To foster collaborative planning among novice and master teachers by providing suggested curriculum elements (essential questions, global connections, vocabulary)
• Pacing Guides will be made public to students and parents via website:
• Pacing Guides will be evaluated at the end of the first year and any district-wide recommendations will lead to revisions as needed. This is a living document and must continue to evolve as years go by.

Core Curriculum for 8th Grade NC History—a top 100 list of Key Terms/People/Places/Events (see units)
“In Focus”:
Each chapter of the current adoption correlates to specific Competency Goals (CGs), but schools can instead focus on 2 principal CGs that are natural fits for the given unit; each CG is touched upon at least twice in the Pacing Guide
• Days: in order to cover the entire curriculum, each unit contains an instructional window; however, instructors should look at the end of each quarter as a benchmark to aim for.
Loss of Instructional Time: each quarter takes into consideration loss of instructional time due to various school/district matters
Current adoption: each unit has been aligned to the current textbook adoption; however, instructors should be teaching the SCOS instead of the textbook
Unit EQs: What is the key learning for this unit, that serves as an “umbrella” for all the lessons? The unit EQ can address the Competency Goals (CG) that are in “In Focus” for the unit.
While the suggested number of days is important to cover the curriculum effectively, the numbers listed here are meant to provide a general “weight” to each unit’s place in a year.
Adapted from Thomas M. Haladyna, Writing Test Items to Evaluate Higher Order Thinking, Boston: Allyn and Bacon, 1999.
“Lesson Essential Questions”= written in “student-friendly” language, contain a clear target for students, connect to other lesson EQs, and are a specific aspect of the Unit EQ.
EQs should drive instruction & be made visible for all students.
“Concepts”= broad topics of discussion that the “Terms/People/Place/Events”
provide specific examples to study & discuss; both are for teacher planning use.
“Vocabulary Builder”: content-based, students will use these terms regularly beyond the course; useful for students to refer to during a unit as a Word Wall
• “Target Goals”: a roadmap for unit mastery
• “Global Connections”: developing students for the global workforce through social studies.
