C3 Framework

The C3 Framework is an educational guide designed to help students develop skills to understand and analyze social studies topics like civics, history, geography, and economics. It emphasizes four key "dimensions": developing disciplinary questions, applying inquiry skills, understanding events and ideas, and engaging in decision-making processes. The goal is to prepare students to think critically about social issues, explore different perspectives, and participate thoughtfully as active citizens. By integrating these dimensions, the framework aims to create more meaningful and engaging social studies learning experiences.
