From Standards to Success: USHC 2 Lesson Planning Portfolio Designing Coherent, Evidence-Centered Instruction

Use this lesson planning portfolio to design coherent, standards-aligned U.S. History instruction centered on historical thinking and evidence. Educators identify the historical thinking required by a USHC Standard 2 indicator, select a high-leverage instructional anchor, map aligned content, select primary and secondary sources, and design a common evidence-centered task with PLD-informed supports. The portfolio also guides educators in reflecting on how the instructional anchor, content, sources, and evidence-centered task work together to develop the historical thinking required by the indicator. Designed for USHC Standard 2, this planning tool supports the development of rigorous, evidence-centered learning experiences aligned to South Carolina U.S. History standards and EOCEP expectations.
