National Standards for History

The National Standards for History are guidelines designed to ensure students develop a comprehensive understanding of history. They set clear learning goals for what students should know and be able to do, such as analyzing historical events, understanding different perspectives, and evaluating sources critically. These standards help teachers structure their lessons and assessments, promoting consistent, high-quality history education across schools. Ultimately, they aim to develop informed citizens who understand the past's influence on present and future society.
