Social Studies Matters As the New York State Education Department develops more detailed recommendations for New York's Graduation Requirements, we remain committed to advocating for Social Studies education, PK-12. Students in New York deserve four units of credit in high school Social Studies in order to be prepared for the challenges of the 21st century world. Social Studies educators in New York deserve a seat at the table as these decisions are being made. Read our recent email to Chancellor Young, Commissioner Rosa, Deputy Commissioners Matteson, Johnson-Dingle and Harmon and all members of the Board of Regents advocating for a commitment to the 4 units of credit and expressing our desire to work with NYSED to provide clarity and support for Social Studies educators.
