Virtual Economics Lessons for all Social Studies Classes with Correlated Common Core Ties<br />
How can an economic way of thinking improve the rigor and relevance<br />
to existing curricula across disciplines?<br />
This workshop will provide the latest information about what is currently taking place at SED with regard to<br />
the impact of the Common Core standards on Social Studies. The Common Core standards emphasize<br />
close reading of text and making an argument. How will Social Studies play into the literacy standards?<br />
How will context as well as text be developed? What will the new assessments look like? Mr. Young will<br />
show ways in which you can implement rigor and relevance using social studies materials to satisfy the<br />
Common Core Standards in your lessons. Teachers from K-12 will have access to publications for their<br />
grade level in math, science, ELA and all social studies courses. Part of the session will deal with our<br />
website, EconedLink, and another 1000+ plus lessons for K-12 educators.<br />
All attendees will get a free copy of the Virtual Economics program.<br />
