Student currently exhibits 1 or 2 of the prerequisite skills and knowledge in social studies at a barely existent level. He or she is unable to perform simple skills or demonstrate knowledge without full physical prompting in a highly structured setting. For example: Demonstrates very limited understanding of the most elementary Social Studies concepts and skills. Student attends to social studies instruction and participates in activities with extensive support. Student responds or performs several social study skills typically at the emerging level in a limited number of settings. For example: Demonstrates a basic understanding of some simple concepts and ideas from history, civics, geography and economics. Can access basic information from maps, charts, and other visual representations with extensive adult support. Student demonstrates the ability to understand and report social studies concepts with moderate support. Student’s understanding of basic concepts and performance of most social studies skills are inconsistent, but typically at the developing or developed level across two or more settings. For example: Understands and can apply some basic conceptual knowledge and skills from history, civics, geography, and economics. Can access basic information from maps, charts, and other visual representations with moderate adult support. Can make and justify simple inferences (e.g., comparison/contrast) about social studies topics with moderate adult support. Student demonstrates a consistent understanding of the basic concepts and skills contained in the social studies items. He or she requires minimal support to demonstrate many of the social studies skills at an accomplished level in multiple settings, but still is functioning at an overall performance level that is significantly below grade and/or developmental expectations. For example: Consistently understands and applies basic conceptual knowledge and skills from history, civics, geography, and economics. Can access information from maps, charts, and other visual representations with limited adult support Can make and justify simple inferences (e.g., cause-and-effect, comparison/contrast) about social studies topics with limited adult support. 0 4 --------------------- 20 21 ----------------------------- 47 48 --------------------------- 75
