Connecticut adopted its first K-12 social studies standards in October 2023. Developed by teachers with public input and state legislative direction, these standards provide guidance for social studies instruction.

The Connecticut Department of Education, Connecticut Humanities, and the Connecticut Democracy Center supported the project, which was directed by the Connecticut State Department of Education and the Connecticut Council for the Social Studies.
