- "What every student should know and be able to do": the making of California's framework, standards, and tests for history-social science abstract: This study explores California's standards-based reforms for history-social science education over the past twenty-five years. It focuses, in particular, on the development and interaction of the state's three primary history-social science policy documents: the History-Social Science Framework for California Public Schools, the History-Social Science Content Standards for California Public Schools, and the California Standards Tests for History-Social Science. The California Department of Education intends for the framework, standards, and tests to work in concert and promote the teaching and learning of history-social science. The standards define the content and skills that all students should learn across grade levels. The framework provides guidance for educators to implement the standards. The tests generate information about student achievement and hold schools accountable for implementing the standards. Through examining how these documents developed over the past two decades, this study argues that, rather than working together symbiotically to promote history education, California's history-social science framework, standards, and tests present educators with inconsistent, even antagonistic, strategies and materials to teach and assess history-social science.
