As future educators we have our own education standards that we must follow. They are called the APPR. These standards are put in place to insure that each teacher is highly qualified in teaching your children.
The APPR stands for Annual Professional Performance Review and is a state-governed process that determines the standards for these ratings and the process for assessing teachers' and leaders' effectiveness.
Another standard that educators use to teach specifically social studies is the New York State Social Studies Framework.
The social studies framework is used to teaching from K-12 and is a set of standards that are different for each grade. Each grade has a specific category. For example: Kindergarten focuses on "Self and Others" and Grade 2 focuses on "The Community and Other Communities". Teachers use these categories to create unit plans and lessons to teach children.
Standards are statements of what learners must know and be able to understand.
One educational theory used to teach social studies focuses on hanging new knowledge off of prior knowledge. When teaching social studies you have the opportunity to build on their prior knowledge and expand on a given topic.
Another educational theory used to teach social studies incorporates learning through interactions with the world. This may include images or pictures, language and sensory experience.

Role Play allows for students to become involved in action, words and ideas of others when they use role playing the classroom. This strategy provides students with "concrete inactive experiences through which can analyze and interpret different views and perspectives about events or issues, both current and historical." This strategy allows for students to to role play and predict what will happen inn a given situation, by portraying different characters and having students analyze the view (Obenchain & Morris , 2015, p. 199)
This Role Playing lesson incorporates traditions and different cultures of a variety of families. This lesson would be taught to 1st graders.
The Sand Table Map is an interacting way that includes map making and model building to create a better understanding of geographic issues. Students naturally play in sand at home, at school or at the park, so by using a sand table map of their world, students "explore a variety of historical and current issues that link science and social studies" (Obenchain & Morris , 2015, p. 204).
This lesson was taught to 2nd graders and the topic of the lesson was Geographic features. This lesson included mountains, lakes, rivers, island, ocean and valleys.
Subtopic
The Museum Exhibit is a smaller in class version of an exhibit that is made by the students in your classroom. The students create an "accurate, informative, accessible, and engaging exhibit about an event, era, concept, or individual." Museum exhibits are meaningful assessments that teachers and students can use to connect what they know with what they see in the outside world (Obenchain & Morris , 2015, p. 167).
This unit plan could be taught to 2nd graders. The students would do research on the Seneca Nation and as a class create an exhibit that shows the knowledge they have gain about this topic.
