We know that many educators are supporting social studies, some with official supervisor or coordinator titles and others as department chairs, instructional coaches, or classroom teachers. So we've updated our name to reflect the desire to include everyone who works to make the world a better place. We will always remain focused on our mission to empower and promote those who are creating effective, inclusive, and equitable systems that advance the teaching and learning of PK-12 social studies. |
