History and Social Science Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools – March 2015
Standards for Virginia and United States Government define the knowledge that enables citizens to participate effectively in civic and economic life. Students will apply social science skills as a foundation to examine fundamental constitutional principles, the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, the political culture, the policy-making process at each level of government, and the characteristics of the United States economy. The standards emphasize an understanding of the duties and responsibilities that facilitate thoughtful and effective participation in the civic life of an increasingly diverse democratic society. The standards also reflect the evolving political and economic roles of Virginia and the United States in the global community.

The coming year brings yet another historic election with a lot at stake. There will be much to follow and understand when it comes to our United States Government. This will be the 4th revision of my Twitter current events project. I like to call it Briefing Day. We will do this several times throughout the year.
