Model Curriculum for Human Rights and Genocide.
California State Board of Education, Sacramento.
Concern for human rights is a major element in the California State Board of Education's "History-Social Science Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten through Grade Twelve," and this document contains resources and guidelines to help teachers and curriculum developers integrate the teaching of human rights into their courses. Part l of this document contains a model that can be used by developers of curricula. This section also provides the philosophical basis for including studies on human rights and genocide in the curriculum; the location in the History-Social Science Framework where these learnings can be integrated; and questions that will engage students in critical thinking on this topic. Part 2 contains curriculum resources to help school districts develop their history-social science curriculum. Appendix A is a summary of where human rights and genocide are addressed in the History-Social Science Framework and includes: (1) the goals and curricula that focus on human rights and genocide; (2) course descriptions; and (3) criteria for evaluating instructional materials. Appendix B offers vignettes that provide background to teachers on issues and events of human rights and genocide, including: (1) chapters 3, 5, and 6 of the Connecticut State Department of Education's resource guide, "Human Rights: The Struggle for Freedom, Dignity and Equality"; (2) "The Armenian Genocide"; (3) "The Ukrainian Genocide"; and (4) "Mass Murder and Genocide of Poles During World War II."
