| Summary: | In 2010 the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) were officially released in America for mathematics
and English language arts and soon adopted by 45 of the 50 states. However, within the English langue arts domain
there were standards intended for secondary social studies teachers under the title, Common Core State Standards
for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Moreover, the
CCSS have been advertised as being able to transform the way teachers teach. That is, social studies teachers are
expected to alter their instructional practices as a direct result of the implementation of the CCSS. Therefore, this
study examined, using a self-reporting survey, whether the instructional practices of secondary social studies
teachers in one Southeastern state had been “transformed” by the CCSS
