Class Objective: World History Studies is a survey of the history of humankind. The major emphasis is on the study of significant people, events, and issues from the earliest time to the present. Traditional historical points of reference in world history are identified as students analyze important events and issues in western civilizations as well as in civilizations in other parts of the world.

Purpose and Standards for Social Studies

“The primary purpose of social studies,” according to the National Council for the Social Studies (1994), “is to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world” (p. vii). The Texas Education Agency (1999) echoes this idea in its Texas Social Studies Framework and adds that “an understanding of the social studies disciplines prepares students to assume productive, participatory lives as citizens.” In Texas, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) comprise the state-mandated standards that establish what every student should know and be able to do. They were developed to comply with §28.002 of the Texas Education Code and can be found in the Texas Administrative Code in Chapters 113 and 118. For all grades (K-12), the TEKS for Social Studies are organized around eight strands: history; geography; economics; government; citizenship; culture; science, technology, and society; and social studies skills.
