OER Project believes that skills development is just as important—if not more—than content knowledge for student thinking and learning in social studies classes. For OER Project students to engage in the work of historians, they must source, contextualize, and corroborate historical evidence; they evaluate historical interpretations; they engage in causal and consequential reasoning; they compare historical developments across and within time; they assess continuity and change; they contextualize historical events; and make and test claims.
