1 Social Studies Content and Literacy Skills Grades 6-12 The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy. Epping students will address the Common Core Reading Standards for Literacy in Social Studies/History in a number of ways as they advance from grades six through twelve. Our content and literacy directly reflect the goals of the Common Core State Standards. The following table shows the sequence in which the and standards are covered as a student advances through Epping Middle School and Epping High School.
