Common Core LEarning standards

The Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS) provide educators with guidance in devising educational experiences that ensure students gain the skills required for success in 21st century careers. The Hunts Point Slave Burial Ground Project aligns to the CCLS for educators teaching material related to the project. The Project is an authentic opportunity for educators to devise curriculum that places students in the midst of actual historical research. As such, educators and students will develop and deepen an understanding of the processes researchers and community organizers involve themselves on a daily basis to advocate for important issues. For more information on the CCLS, please visit the New York State Education Department's website, EngageNY.  Additionally, the curriculum addresses English Language Learners (ELLs) and focused on New Language Arts Progressions and targets of measurements (TOMs)

Additional resources utilized in the development of the curriculum will be based on the New York State K-12 Social Studies Framework, the New York State Learning Standards and Core Curriculum for Social Studies, as well as the New York City Department of Education's K-8 Social Studies Scope and Sequence (great for understanding how you can align HPSBG to teaching standards) and Science Scope and Sequence.

Teach the Hunts Point Slave Burial Ground Project and rest assured that you are addressing the most critical components of CCLS, NYSED Social Studies Learning Standards, and 21st Century Learning.
