Here is material the National Parks Service has on teaching about the civil rights movement:\nhttp://www.teachingcivilrights.org/\n\nIn the case of history, much of it is driven by the textbook. Check out some elementary-level history books for an idea of the civil rights curriculum.

Sometimes it depends on what a school or a district requires a teacher to do. Some are not allowed to stray from the curriculum (meaning the text) without threat of being fired for "not teaching the curriculum." \n\nI know of a teacher who once, during an observation, mentioned to second graders that "tri" was from the ancient Latin language, that it meant "3", and was found in words like "Tricycle," which is a 3 wheel bike. The teacher then asked the kids if they could come up with other words with "tri" in them. The kids loved it. They were engaged, they came up with great words, etc.  \n\nThe teacher was "written up" for several things, including not teaching the specified curriculum, [apparently it's okay to teach word families as long as they are of the cat-hat-rat sort, but not if they make the kids think] teaching "inappropriate material" because how could 7 and 8 year olds possibly understand Latin, and being "out of touch with student needs."\n\nIt is not always the teacher who is at fault if the curriculum is stagnant!  By the way, this teacher left public school for private school; much less money, but more intellectual honesty and freedom.

I have a masters degree in this and it will take a long time to answer your question.  I suggest that you take a look at any History of US Education book.

"Wondering" is right. The best place is to answer your question is to use a search engine (such as Yahoo search) and then type academic standards. However, as a former 8th grade teacher, I was curious what "8th grade curriculum" would provide and it led me to a website for a local school district. An excerpt from their website is below and the link is in the sources page. \n\nIt's interesting to read what's below. It definitely covers the average curriculum. What's not covered is the wide range of electives that students are exposed to in 8th grade depending on the school.\n\n\n\nCOMMUNICATION ARTS\n\nThe Communication Arts class is a required, full-year course. The writing process will continue to be the main focus of study with grammar, mechanics, and spelling being reviewed and taught as part of the editing process. Writing will include sentences, paragraphs, letter writing, creative writing, and at least two longer compositions. Students will read and study short stories, non-fiction, a play, poetry, and two novels. Each student will also make two oral presentations. MMAT objectives will be incorporated.\nSOCIAL STUDIES\n\nEighth Grade Social Studies of United States History begins with The Age of Exploration and continues through 1887 - Reconstruction. Students study the effects of the past on the present, with an emphasis on government, culture, economics, and geography, including a balanced coverage of events. The study of U.S. History and its effects on its citizens help the students gain a greater understanding of their heritage and their citizenship responsibilities.\nSCIENCE\n\nEighth Grade Earth Science is designed to encourage student awareness of the vast amount of order and change that takes place in the Universe and specifically on Planet Earth. Students will study astronomy, mineralogy, geology, meteorology, oceanography, energy and the environment. Experimentation will be an integral part of science instruction and process skills will be stressed. Students will be prompted to question, investigate, explore and hypothesize. Activities may include the construction of models and/or the use of manipulative, interactive and physical materials.\nMATHEMATICS/ALGEBRA\n\nStudents are enrolled in Mathematics classes based on previous performance, aptitude, and developed skills. These classes range from basic Mathematics to Algebra.\nPHYSICAL EDUCATION (ALTERNATE DAYS)\n\nEighth Grade Physical Education is a progressively planned co-educational program in lifetime sports. Content includes large and small group games, skill drills, individual sports activities, and related lifetime sports.

If you are looking for a complete curriculum, I have heard a lot of people like Abeka - a Christian programs that covers all the basic subjects, I think (though I have never used it myself).  I would highly recommend the book "A Thomas Jefferson Education," by Oliver DeMille.  You can guy it a gwc.edu in the bookstore section.  Check out hslda.org for info on home school groups in your state and info on home schooling in general.  One more piece of advice, don't get too much into the "school" mentality (my child has to do this, this and this at this, etc.).  Be flexible - that is one of the beauties on home schooling.  If your child doesn't like the curriculum you have, find something different - there are TONS of options out there.  Good luck!

If 1/2 the schools in the US thinks yes, then teachers are not doing well in the history aspect of education. Now, these kids need to know their rights, and the rights of others. I thought schools get taught the Constitution and bill of rights. At least I would expect thee civil war to be mentioned before 6th grade, the rest would follow. Freedom of speech, FREEDOM OF PRESS, freedom of religion, and so on. With this knowledge one can understand why America is America and not new great Brittan or some British ruled country paying taxes on land we are not living and harvesting from. ( ha, nowadays, this country is doing all kinds of illegal activities. No wonder why 1/2 the youth is lost and confused)

You are correct, there are many elementary teachers, but you can make yourself more employable if you get dual certification in both elementary and special ed. Teaching in grades 4-8 can be very rewarding. Junior high students are a lot of fun.

Go to to the department of Education website for the states in which you have interest.  There is generally a need for teachers in certain subjects, but not in others, and that varies from year to year and from state to state.  Special needs teachers, math teachers and Spanish teachers seem to be currently in demand, especially with NCLB requiring special needs teachers to have more course work in each of the exceptionalities they work with.
