Reminder- the important role of 9th
grade World History

Big Idea:
In order to better align student content and skills
between elementary, middle, and senior high school
Social Studies courses, the Department of Social
Sciences is changing the sequence of required courses
for Social Studies at the middle school level.
Read Carefully WB #18816
http://socialsciences.dadeschools.net click on Weekly Briefing's Tab
Rationale:
•
Building upon the 5th grade U.S. History course required in elementary
schools allows 6th grade students to continue learning U.S. History in a more
rigorous and in-depth level.
• Much of the historical content emphasized in early U.S. History can later
assist students with often abstract and complex content addressed in 7th
grade Civics (e.g., the era of the American Revolution and the Creation of the
U.S. Constitution); and
• Placing the middle school World History course in 8th grade aligns the two
required World History courses in 8th grade (Early humans through the
Middle Ages) and the World History course in 9th grade (Byzantine Empire
through Modern Times).

Timeline:
To transition to this targeted sequence of courses for required middle
school Social Studies courses, the following sequence will be followed for
the 2016-17 and 2017-18 academic years:
• 6th grade U.S. History
• 7th grade Civics
• 8th grade U.S. History.
Why did we wait to do this now?
Big Picture:
•
2016-17- 6th grade will be getting tablets supporting digital access to instructional
resources.
•
2016-17- K-12 Social Studies adoption will take place (to implement in the 2017-18
school year) and implementing this transition now will facilitate that the correct
materials are reviewed for the correct grade level.
•
Civics teachers need relevant historical content to be emphasized in 6th grade ASAP!
•
9th grade World History teachers need a consistent and logical sequence for teaching
World History as such their important role in exposing and preparing students for
the 11th grade U.S. History through the instruction of modern World History is
emphasized.

Next Steps- how to get prepared?
This goes out to the current 9th grade teachers:
1. Get a copy of the U.S. History text and review
it.
2. Review the pacing guides, timelines, and year
at a glance.
3. Devise a plan with your department to share
instructional materials. Have 11th grade U.S.
History teachers assist 9th grade World History
teachers with skills and content that needs to
be emphasized in the teaching of modern
World History to assist with 11th grade U.S.
History.
