Teaching Economics with College, Career, and Civic Life (C3)
College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) is a framework for social studies state standards. It is designed to prepare students for the challenges of college and career as well as for civic life. Representatives from state education agencies and leading organizations in social studies and its individual disciplines collaborated to develop this framework. The C3 Framework focuses on inquire skills and key concepts to guide the selection of curricular content required for a rigorous social studies program. It includes descriptions of the structures, tools and ways of thinking related to the disciplines in social studies. The C3 Framework provides guidance for upgrading existing social studies standards to include "the application of knowledge within the disciplines of civics, economics, geography, and history as students develop questions and plan inquiries; apply disciplinary concepts and tools; evaluate and use evidence; and communicate conclusions and take informed action."
