Ohio's Model Curriculum for Social Studies

From its original inception, educators statewide have helped the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce meet its obligation in state law to develop the model curriculum for social studies. The purpose of Ohio’s model curriculum is to add clarity to the standards and to support educators in planning and implementing their locally prescribed curriculum. The model curriculum for social studies is not a complete curriculum nor is it mandated for use.
