| H-SS Goals and Curriculum Strands
The study of continuity and change is the main focus of the history-social science curriculum. The knowledge provided by these disciplines enables students to appreciate how ideas, events, and individuals have intersected to produce change over time, as well as to recognize the conditions and forces that maintain continuity within human societies.

These curriculum strands are a constant in every grade, not options to be added or dropped from one year to the next. In every grade teachers will be expected to integrate and correlate these strands as part of their teaching of the history-social science curriculum.
