Our mission in the Mission C.I.S.D. social studies department is to create a K-12th grade academic program which will educate students so that they will act responsibly as members of a democratic society. It is our goal to design and execute a dynamic, student-centered, social studies curriculum framework that links today’s classroom with the past, and the future
Students in the social studies program will develop an understanding and appreciation of the contributions that diverse civilizations and cultures have made throughout history and the impact that they have had on the development of democratic ideals. Students will study Political, Economic, Religious, Social, Intellectual and Artistic issues that have shaped the world our students live in today.
In addition our students will be challenged by actively participating in the democratic process, honoring cultural diversity, utilizing literature and technology, promoting research, developing decision making skills, incorporating strategies for reading, interpreting data, and examining geographic, historical, cultural, and economic situations through a variety of experiences and activities.
AUGUST
Social Studies Teachers
Welcome Back!
Hope you all had a restful, peaceful, and productive summer.
Thursday, August 26th is Women's Independence Day
Texas House Bill 67 calls for August 26th to be celebrated as Women's Independence Day. It was on this day in 1920 that the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution Became a law, which guaranteed women the right to vote.
I will send everyone an email with links to sites that you can access to help you cover Women's Suffrage with your students.
