C3 Resources

The College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework is a new and exciting approach to authentic education in Social Studies. OCLRE is proud to support the expansion of the framework here in Ohio and has created resources to help teachers implement the framework in their classrooms. For questions about the resources below, or to inquire about training around the C3 Framework, contact Ryan Suskey at rsuskey@oclre.org.

 

Ohio Government in Action Curriculum

In 2016, OCLRE, with the assistance of Ohio teachers, created the Ohio Government in Action Inquiry Designed Curriculum.  This curriculum offers five C3 designed to deepen understanding of state and local government standards, based on the high school government standards.    Click HERE to download.

 

In a collaborative effort, teachers and OCLRE created inquiries that dive into both the middle and high school standards.  Use the chart below to find an Inquiry that best matches your needs.
