Process, rules, and laws direct how individuals are governed and how society addresses problems
Arizona's K-12 History and Social Science Standards, adopted October 2018 and modified 2019, organize instruction around 21 anchor standards applied with increasing complexity at each grade level. Four civics anchor standards address civic virtues and democratic principles, individual rights and civic responsibilities, civic institutions and their roles, and political processes and law — woven alongside economics, geography, and history content. The framework emphasizes inquiry-based learning: posing compelling questions, gathering evidence, and taking informed action. Arizona law (ARS 15-701.01) requires students to score at least 60 out of 100 on the USCIS civics naturalization test before graduating.
