Oklahoma State Standards, Revised 2019

The state standards for learning in social studies were revised and approved by the Oklahoma State Legislature in May, 2019. New standards reflect the research and work of over 100 educators who served on the writing and draft committees, multiple focus groups, and public feedback throughout the revision process.

National Council for Social Studies Frameworks

The result of a three year state-led collaborative effort, the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards was developed to serve two audiences: for states to upgrade their state social studies standards and for practitioners — local school districts, schools, teachers and curriculum writers — to strengthen their social studies programs. Its objectives are to: a) enhance the rigor of the social studies disciplines; b) build critical thinking, problem solving, and participatory skills to become engaged citizens; and c) align academic programs to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies.
