Standards that recommend appropriate skills and content can be found in numerous sources, including the 1995 New Hampshire K-12 Social Studies Curriculum Framework.  The table below shows how the focus questions in this New Hampshire history curriculum relate to the New Hampshire social studies standards.  The instructional outcomes under each focus question are also consistent with the standards.

We recommend that teachers anchor all of their social studies teaching in a systematic strategy that answers the question, " What should my students know and be able to do when they have finished this lesson?" this chart is for planning the answer to that question.  Also see Appendix D for the 1995 New Hampshire K-12 Social Studies Curriculum Framework standards, Appendix C for a list of historical thinking skills, and Appendix E for a list of social studies skills.  For a more detailed version and an addendum to the New Hampshire standards, contact your school principal or the New Hampshire State Department of Education in Concord, New Hampshire.
