Title: 2019 SST US and World History Standards Explained

The 2019 Social Studies Standards are in PowerSchool for the 20-21 school year. Just a couple of notes on what users will see when adding SST standards to assignments. First the state organized standards by grade band (K-2)(3-5)( 6-12), our board reporting needs the standards reported out by grade-level. Therefore those grade-bands were split into 3 separate grade levels, which gives the teachers the flexibility to scaffold the same standard between grade levels for vertical alignment. The kicker was organizing 2 of the history domains by eras. This makes perfect sense, but added to the complexity of import structure into PowerSchool.

Below is a screenshot of the North Dakota Final Social Studies Content Standards.

As you can see there are lots of boxes, circles and shaded areas. This is to explain the structure that used to import standards into PowerSchool with Identifiers.

US.6_12.1-6.E2.5 BPS identifiers are slightly different SST-08.US_e2.02.5 Explain the social, economic, and political causes and effects of the Civil War.

- US.6-12 Red Boxes indicate the Domain/Grade band
- .1 to.6 / 1-6 Blue Boxes indicate the Standard (sometimes referred to as anchor standard)
- E2 Yellow Boxes indicate the Era that the Standards/Benchmarks are associated.
- .1 to .6 Red Circles indicate each specific Benchmark.

You can see by the different shading and that the benchmarks could fit under various (anchor)Standards, so in actuality are (6 standards)x(6 benchmarks)= 36 benchmarks for each Era. So the state document is a little misleading with a list of 6 benchmarks. However when you see the relationship between the benchmarks and standards you see why there appears so many US and World History standards in your PTP gradebook. So I would recommend using the PTP filters to find the benchmarks you want to score.
Examples:

1. If filtering _e2 you will get all that era
2. However if you filter by _e2.02 PTP will list all the benchmarks for the standard Examine the impact of multiple perspectives on social, political, and cultural development.
3. Finally if filtering by _e2.02.5 – will list that specific benchmark Explain the social, economic, and political causes and effects of the Civil War from the impact of multiple perspectives of social …. Developments.
