The Social Studies Curriculum Standards include the Process Standards,
Content Standards, Learning Expectations and Accomplishments necessary to insure
that K-12 Tennessee students develop the social studies skills needed to succeed
in school, in the workplace, and in their lives.
The foundation of the curriculum standards includes the four process
standards: communication, data analysis, historical awareness, and acquiring
information and six content standards: culture, economics, geography, government
and civics, history, and individuals, groups, and interactions. However, the guiding philosophy of this document is that the process and
content standards should be taught in an integrated manner, not in isolation.
