| The themes of the site, the core maps, and the content of the lesson plans were not chosen to directly address any one set of national, state, or local standards or curricula. However, we recognize that standards have a role in curriculum preparation. Accordingly, we have supplied this index to indicate which lesson plans are appropriate for teaching the National Education Standards adopted by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and the National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE). For an explanation of these standards, please visit the NCSS website at http://www.ncss.org and the NCGE website at http://www/ncge.org. Please note that not every lesson plan correlates to a national standard. Due to the national scope of this Web site, we cannot provide correlations to state or local standards.
The grade level groupings of this Web site do not match exactly those of the NCSS or NCGE. In assessing the lessons, we have made the following matches for grade levels:
Historic Maps in K-12 Classrooms to NCSS
K-2 to Lower Grades, 3-5 to Lower Grades, 6-8 to Middle Grades, 9-12 to High School
Historic Maps in K-12 Classrooms to NCGE
K-2 to Grades K-4, 3-5 to Grades K-4, 6-8 to Grades 5-8, 9-12 to Grades 9-12
