High-quality instructional materials are essential to rigorous, inclusive social studies instruction, but how do you know if materials meet the mark? Join us for a hands-on walk-through of the newly updated Social Studies Curriculum Review Guide, a practical, research-aligned tool to evaluate materials across six essential domains and support strong classroom implementation.

High-quality social studies instruction can be transformative, but bringing it to life across a district takes vision, planning, and support. Join us for a practical conversation with district leaders who are leading this work. From building teacher capacity to selecting strong, inquiry-aligned materials, we’ll explore what it takes to implement with clarity and coherence.

What does inquiry look like in action? Join us for a classroom deep dive as we follow a 5th-grade social studies lesson from start to finish. Through classroom footage and reflective narration, you’ll step into the shoes of a teacher and see how students engage with a compelling question, analyze sources, build knowledge, and apply their learning in authentic ways.
