Testing Outcomes

Third grade social studies introduce students to the concept of their society and different communities. This is accomplished through a focus on a broad historical overview of human history and a specific view of local and community practices and responsibilities. Third grade social studies combine lessons from world history, geography, political science and economics. Classroom activities include obtaining and organizing information, discussing and analyzing current and community events and participating in fun related activities. Test given to challenge your knowledge of states, capitals and bodies of water to students gives them a outlook on life, because it is more to the world besides the state they reside in.

 

Student learning outcomes are statements that specify what students will know and be able to demonstrate when they have completed or participated in a project. Outcomes are expresed as skills, knowledge and value. Learning outcomes are measured by different types of assessments.
