Kansas history standards up for review by state board
Kansas educators will review a draft of history geography and social studies standards aimed at teaching students to analyze context and apply knowledge rather than memorize names and dates. The draft, supported by Maureen Donegan, calls for a narrative approach focused on big themes from Kansas statehood and requires tests aligned with the new standards starting in 2016.
