SOCIAL STUDIES GLES & CBAS

Social Studies GLEs are posted on OSPI web site. Please look at the SOCIAL STUDY SKILLS SECTION to view EALRs about the research process and more. Teacher-librarians are VITAL during the social studies CBA process. Please share this link with your 3rd-12th grade teachers:

Please ask colleagues to check the OSPI social studies web site again in June. There will be Social Studies Unit Outlines for each grade level. The updated lists of GLEs for each grade level are much shorter and better presented. The number of social studies GLEs have been pared down substantially since last year. For example, there will be only 10 GLEs for third grade.

Caleb Perkins (OSPI) is encouraging TLs to become familiar with the new GLEs and the CBAs. Please look for training opportunities in the fall, particularly the Civics CBAs which will be required at the 4th or 5th, 7th or 8th, and 10th or 11th grade levels.
