The standards and outcomes of these lesson plans collectively aim to promote critical thinking, historical literacy, and an understanding of diverse perspectives among Washington state middle school students.

The lessons meet various Washington State Social Studies Standards as well as Social Justice Standards and Middle Level Since Time Immemorial Outcomes. Teachers are encouraged to consider the curriculum's alignment with their class sequence.
