Register at www.pnwboces.org/catalog Elementary Social Studies Ledership Series 2013-2014 Why teach social studies in the elementary grades given the demands of the Common Core? Join the conversation! Elementary-level teacher leaders meet three times a year to discuss best practices and curriculum/instruction issues in social studies. How do we keep social studies relevant in the 21st Century? How do we incorporate the Common Core Reading Informational Text and Writing Standards without abandoning social studies beyond the ELA Modules? Participants will continue to explore the new Social Studies Standards, discuss how to use formative and summative assessments and performance assessments to evaluate student learning, and how to integrate technology beyond mere projection and word processing. The three meetings are enormously stimulating, jam-packed with new resources, and feature a presentation from an outside expert during one session. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops or tablets. If one is not available we will provide one.

Do you teach United States History at the 7th, 8th or 11th grade level? Continue learning and interacting with people who share your interests. All those who have participated in the P/NWBOCES Teaching American History (TAH) Grants years 1-4 are invited to spend two full days at BOCES during 2013-2014. Each morning noted historians will share their expertise with us and discuss their latest research. Then we will draw on the expertise of our own teachers, or their contacts, who will engage us in their individual passions. There will be time for classroom connections, an update on what is new in New York State social studies, and technology integration. Even if you were not able to participate in TAH, you may sign up to join us.
