The Social Studies \u201cKnowledge Gap\u201d <\/b><\/h2>\n

The achievement gap is, in large part, a knowledge gap. Research from around the world shows that a comprehensive, content-rich curriculum is a signature feature of high-performing systems. Despite the research record, a majority of the United States\u2019 curricula treat social studies content not as a source of building and applying knowledge, but merely as a site for trying (fruitlessly) to hone abstract skills. Furthermore, we know from the political science literature that students need to practice the skill of civil disagreement \u2014 something that a well-designed social studies curriculum can encourage. <\/span><\/p>\n
