Title: K-2 Concerns within PowerSchool
Course: BPSS (SST) Social Studies Standards > Section: Teacher Workspace > Forum: Social Studies Standards Discussions ...

I know, we discussed the History concerns, but a PLC Team in 1st Grade found these discrepancies between the State Standards and what is within their PowerSchool as well.

 K-2.E.06 is a repeat in powerschool.

K-2.G.02 is listed as G.04 in Powerschool.

Thanks a million for looking into this,

Elsie

Below are the update done to PowerSchool for the new SST-Standards from Elsie's post:

K-2.E.06 is a repeat in powerschool.

K-2 Economics Domain (Duplicated Benchmark removed from PTP)
State Code | BPS Identifier | Standard/Benchmark
E.K-2.4 | SST-00.E.04 | SST-01.E.04 |SST-02.E.04 | Identify how community helpers impact others.
 | SST-00.E.06 | SST-01.E.06 |SST-02.E.06 | Identify how community helpers impact others.

The next time you access your SST-Standards in PTP the SST-00.E.06 | SST-01.E.06 |SST-02.E.06 will be removed from your grade book. No changes needed to be done in LearnBPS because SST-00.E.06 | SST-01.E.06 |SST-01.E.06 were not listed there.

K-2.G.02 is listed as G.04 in Powerschool.

When you examine the wording between ND and BPS-Standards you will see that BPS maintains fidelity to the state standards/benchmark. The explanation is that Bismarck Public School District Standards-Based Progress Report displays grades at the concept level. Therefore Bismarck Public School District has modified the North Dakota DPI codes to fit into our student information system PowerSchool for Standards-Based grading. The rationale is for reporting purposes of like standards/benchmarks for scaffolding/vertical alignment.
Below is a chart that may show the relationships between standards/benchmarks for the purpose of looking at the progression of learning how the standards/benchmarks are mastered each year by like themes (clusters).
Text in bold italic underlined indicate the relationships between the two benchmarks.

K-5 Geography Domain (BPS skips 2 and 3 because the benchmark aligns with 4)
K-2 State Code | BPS Identifier | Standard/Benchmark | 3-5 State Code | BPS Identifier | Standard/Benchmark
Geographical Representation
G.K_2.1 | SST-00.G.01 | SST-01.G.01 | SST-02.G.01 | Construct maps, graphs, and other representations that contain symbols, labels, and legends. | G.3_5.1 | SST-03.G.01 | SST-04.G.01 | SST-04.G.01 | Construct maps, graphs, and other representations of both familiar and unfamiliar places.
 |  |  | G.3_5.2 | SST-03.G.02 | SST-04.G.02 | SST-04.G.02 | Use geographic tools and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective.
 |  |  | G.3_5.3 | SST-03.G.03 | SST-04.G.03 | SST-04.G.03 | Use maps, satellite images, photographs, and other representations to explain relationships between the locations of places, regions, and their environmental characteristics.
Human and Environment Interactions
G.K_2.2 | SST-00.G.04 | SST-01.G.04 | SST-02.G.04 | Describe how the physical environment affects people and how people affect the physical environment. | G.3_5.4 | SST-03.G.04 | SST-04.G.04 | SST-04.G.04 | Explain how North Dakota regions have been influenced by physical and human characteristics.
 |  |  | G.3_5.5 | SST-03.G.05 | SST-04.G.05 | SST-04.G.05 | Compare and contrast the three geographical regions of North Dakota.
 |  |  | G.3_5.6 | SST-03.G.06 | SST-04.G.06 | SST-04.G.06 | Explain how United States regions are created from common physical and human characteristics.
Human Population: Spatioal Patterns and Movements

History concerns.

The explanation will be the same as Geography.
Below is a chart that may show the relationships between standards/benchmarks for the purpose of looking at the progression of learning how the standards/benchmarks are mastered each year by like History themes.
Text in bold italic underlined indicate the relationships between the two benchmarks.

K-5 History Domain (BPS skips 2 and 3 because the benchmark aligns with 4 etc...)
K-2 State Code | BPS Identifier | Standard/Benchmark | 3-5 State Code | BPS Identifier | Standard/Benchmark
Perspectives
H.K_2.1 | SST-00.H.01 | SST-01.H.01 | SST-02.H.01 | Compare perspectives of people in the past to those of people in the present. | H.3_5.1 | SST-03.H.01 | SST-04.H.01 | SST-04.H.01 | Compare and contrast multiple perspectives during the same time, event, or historical period.
 |  |  | H.3_5.2 | SST-03.H.02 | SST-04.H.02 | SST-04.H.02 | Describe how people’s perspectives shape history.
 |  |  | H.3_5.3 | SST-03.H.03 | SST-04.H.03 | SST-04.H.03 | Describe the North Dakota Native American Essential Understandings.
Cause, Effect, and Current Events
H.K_2.2 | SST-00.H.04 | SST-01.H.04 |SST-02.H.04 | Describe national holidays or days of observance in the United States and explain the reason they are celebrated. | H.3_5.4 | SST-03.H.04 | SST-04.H.04 | SST-04.G.04 | Analyze national holidays or days of observance in the United States and explain how they impact culture.
 | SST-00.H.05 | SST-01.H.05 | SST-02.H.05 | Describe current events. | H.3_5.5 | SST-03.H.05 | SST-04.H.05 | SST-04.H.05 | Describe multiple causes and effects of contemporary global events and developments in relation to North Dakota.
 |  |  | H.3_5.6 | SST-03.H.06 | SST-04.H.06 | SST-04.H.06 | Describe multiple causes and effects of contemporary global events and developments in relation to the United States.
Connections, Contributions, Historical Sources, and Evidence

BPS is in the process of examining the last 3 benchmarks to see if they should be aligned better.

Thanks for spotting the duplicate Economic benchmark in PTP and if you notice any misspellings or other errors let us know because we just copy and paste from the state document to maintain fidelity.

NOTE: if you click on any of the BPS Identifiers that the Global Glossary Standards will pop-up displaying the Standard/Benchmark - "I can ... statements" - along with the proficiency scale and resources.
