On February 4, 2021 the North Carolina State Board of Education approved new content standards for social studies, K-12. The standards define what students are expected to know, understand, and be able to do by the end of each grade or course. Included as a part of the approval of the standards is a preamble written by NC Superintendent of Public Instruction, Catherine Truitt. The preamble states that the standards are a framework intended to teach the full spectrum of history to best help students learn and use the information they acquire in the course of learning experiences.
