2026 Indiana Academic Standards: K-12 Social Studies

Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students give examples of helping others in person, such as taking turns and caring for shared supplies. They also name kind and safe choices when using a class tablet, such as asking before sharing a photo.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can say what they would do when two children want the same toy or when a classmate appears in a photo. They explain how taking turns or asking permission helps someone else.
Common Misconceptions: Children may think kindness rules do not apply on a screen. They may think it is fine to share a classmate's picture without asking. Some may think telling an adult about an upsetting message is tattling.
How to Assess It: Ask each child to draw one way to help someone in the classroom and one safe choice when using a tablet. Have them explain both pictures.

Lesson moves

Give pairs a set of blocks and a paper tablet, then have them act out taking turns and asking before sharing a friend's photo.
Show a drawing of a tablet message that says, 'You can't play,' and ask, 'What could you do to help?'
Play thumbs-up or thumbs-down with picture cards showing returning a book, grabbing a tablet, asking before sharing a photo, and sharing a password.
Photograph the classroom bookshelf, then ask what changes if a classmate appears in the picture before sending it to family.
