2021 Spring Virtual Conference (WSCSS)
The Spring 2021 WSCSS Conference, “Centering the Social Sciences,” was held on May 22, 2021.
The Spring conference explored how teachers could become agents of change in re-centering the Social Studies in our state and in classrooms across the nation. Participants heard from a wide variety of speakers sharing their experiences, and discovered new curricula development strategies including:
-
Integrating inquiry, culturally responsive teaching, and civic action in your classroom, school, and community.
-
Using project-based learning to develop student skills and promote equity in the classroom.
-
Applying the new Washington State Social Studies Learning Standards to help advocate for more and better social studies instruction.
-
Helping pre-service and new teachers navigate the first few years of their teaching career.
