Recommendation Report: Changing Oklahoma State Department of Education Social Studies Standards Using a Social Justice Framework

Portland State University

This recommendation report was the culmination of six weeks OF analyzing various technical communication frameworks and applying them to technical communication problems. From there we picked a problem and a framework to adapt and resolve this problem. For my project, I chose to take the current Oklahoma State Department of Education’s 3rd grade Social Studies standards and adapt them using a social justice framework. This document shows my competence in understanding educational materials presented at the national level, and my ability to provide solutions in the field of education. 

Integrity, creativity, and empathy shape the way we work.
