Appendix on Implementing District Standards and International Baccalaureate Assessment Objectives
In 2005, the School District of Philadelphia responded to an over forty year call from parents to decenter the Eurocentric perspective taught in the high school history curriculum. 17 This spurred the creation and implementation of African-American History for ninth grade students in the School District of Philadelphia. Additionally, effective 2012-2013, Pennsylvania adopted the PA Common Core Standards, which require increased focus on primary source documents and informational texts. This unit satisfies these stipulations, as well as the Individuals and Societies Assessment Objectives for the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme Year Four. These three separate and distinct sets of requirements find collaborative potentiality here. At first glance this may seem cumbersome, however, the possibility of this endeavor comes into fruition with careful planning and alignment.
