ERIC ED430850: The Social Studies Character/Citizenship Education Connection. Teaching Responsibility in the High School Social Studies Curriculum.

This publication includes practical suggestions for emphasizing responsibility in social studies classes for grades 9-12, and is a companion to "Building a Foundation for Citizenship," which outlines steps for establishing a citizen/character education program in North Carolina public schools. Strategies for teaching the social studies strands "Economic, Legal and Political Systems" and "United States History" include intellectual exercises that require students to learn and make choices related to responsibility. Each of the strategies provides an example of a multidimensional learning experience, and is organized to include a goal, skills, the responsibility theme, a strategy, assessment, and resources. An appendix includes rubric models and traits for the National Civic Standards and Responsibilities of School Personnel. (MM)
