What are the Grade Span Specific documents and why were they developed?
Grade Span Specific documents contain the Civics GSEs for each grade span, essential questions generated from the GSEs, and suggested topics or resources for lessons. They were created to aid teachers in using the Civics GSEs by elaborating on the GSEs and demonstrating how easily they fit in with a variety of topics for lessons or units. These documents provide a more detailed extension/explanation to the examples and topics listed after the “e.g.” and “i.e.” in various indicators.
