The five instructional shifts offer teachers a foundation for designing curricular materials and instructional activities that align to the C3 Framework. The shifts articulate ways that teachers can strengthen their instruction, while also impacting the design of curriculum and assessment. They represent the ambitions set forth in the C3 Inquiry Arc, but also reflect exemplary practices that can be found right now in thousands of social studies classrooms. The goal is to clearly communicate a coherent set of instructional practices and elevate these practices as models for enhancing social studies teaching and learning in all classrooms.
