STANDARD COURSE OF STUDY

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Department of Public Instruction gratefully acknowledges the cooperation and assistance received from individuals and groups throughout the state in this current revision process. Without such cooperation, the revisions of the North Carolina Social Studies Standard Course of Study would not have been possible.

We wish to express special thanks to:

• the Office of Instructional and Accountability Services for providing the leadership and vision that guided the development of this document;
• the many educators, parents, and business and community members who participated in the current revision process by serving on curriculum committees, focus groups, and/or by reacting to draft documents;
• the faculty from the institutions of higher education who advised and assisted in the revision of the curriculum; and
• the Department of Public Instruction staff who carried the primary responsibility for revising and editing the curriculum.

In addition we would like to express special gratitude and appreciation to the members of the Writing Committees who devoted their time, energy, and expertise to the development and writing of the North Carolina Social Studies Standard Course of Study.

The current revision process involved, on some level, the entire social studies education community and the end product is a curriculum of which North Carolina can be proud. We will regularly revise and improve the curriculum to meet the needs of the students of North Carolina.
