The National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) defines social studies as “the study of individuals, communities, systems, and their interactions across time and place that prepares students for local, national, and global civic life.”

LEAs have the duty to select instructional materials that best correlate to the core standards for Utah public schools and graduation requirements. (UCA 53G-4-402(1(a)). Posting of resources does not imply the resources have received official endorsement from the State Board.
