ACADEMIC STANDARDS
Vermont’s Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities (2000):
History and Social Sciences Standards
6.18 Nature of Conflict
Students analyze the nature of conflicts, how they have been or might be resolved, and how some have shaped the divisions in various times of their local community, Vermont, the United States, and the world. This is evident when students:
Grades 5-8:
aa. Explain a conflict (e.g. Labor Issues, Revolutionary War) by recognizing the interests, values, perspectives, and points of view of those directly and indirectly involved in the conflict;
bb. Formulate a position on a conflict and evaluate the consequences on the individual and society;
cc. Explain conditions, actions, and motivations that contribute to conflict and conflict resolution within and among individuals, groups, communities, and nations; and
dd. Show understanding of how conflicts (e.g. revolutions, colonization, genocide) cause changes in social patterns.
These standards are mandatory in Vermont.
