Abstract
The California history and social science standards-based reform has been touted as the "gold standard" for state history curricula. But the standards, framework, and tests that constitute this reform provide inconsistent and contradictory criteria for teaching and assessing history and social science. An examination of the political process that resulted in these standards and tests shows that the conflicting pedagogical messages are poor models for emulation.
