This was done in efforts to make it more of a teacher tool and place to visit for up to date information about events, Professional Development opportunities. The Council has envisioned a website that Social Studies Educators would visit for information relating to our discipline. Please share your thoughts with me about information you would like to see more of at lesliecarter80@me.com

Everyday, amazing educational learning occurs in Social Studies classrooms across our state. I am going to challenge you to nominate a fellow teacher, program of study, and or student for an award. I am also going to challenge you to present at our upcoming conference. Was there a topic you thought should have been addressed? Did you walk away and think, “Wow, I could share my activity that relates!” There is amazing leadership in our state and it is time to utilize those skills. If you are interested in running for a position on the board, or helping out in any capacity, please contact me or check the website for updates.
Good luck as we move into testing season. I am right there in the trenches with you. Please accept my challenge and nominate and present!
Thanks for all you do everyday to improve Social Studies education across our state- YOU are making a difference!
