Keep learning going
How are K-12 social studies teachers shifting their practices to meet new challenges?
A New Kind of Conference
During the first ever OER Conference for Social Studies, August 5-7, thousands of educators gathered online to discuss how teaching practices can and should progress to meet future learning needs—in or out of the classroom. This first-of-its-kind three-day virtual event included four keynote sessions, eight live discussions, and close to 70 Track Talks from K-12 educators on key social studies topics. All sessions are available on demand.
