The result of a three-year state-led collaborative effort, the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards was purposefully designed to provide guidance to states to enhance the rigor of K-12 civics, economics, geography, and history to prepare students for college, career, and civic life in the 21st century. It is also a powerful resource for teachers at the local level to increase the rigor and relevance of current history-social studies standards while meeting the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.
