K-12 Social Studies Framework

The New York State K-12 Social Studies Framework is designed to prepare students for college, careers, and civic life with courses that are rigorous and aligned to the New York State Learning Standards for Social Studies. This Framework consists of a single three-part document--the Introduction to the Framework, Grades K-8 and Grades 9-12. 

The original Framework was published in 2014. Subsequently the K-8 document was revised in 2016.
