GCSS 2022 Conference Proposal Engage and Explore: Social Studies From Local to Global
The Vision of the Georgia Council for the Social Studies is to prepare students to be knowledgeable, effective decision makers and engaged citizens in a globally interdependent world. GCSS would like to invite you to submit a 2022 conference proposal that supports this vision, promotes engaging strategies for all students, blends content instruction with reading and writing skills, and provides resources that are classroom ready for teachers to implement with students as we "engage and explore social studies local to global". These interactive sessions should be designed to build capacity for high-quality social studies for the K-12 educator and ensure that students will be engaged as historians, geographers, economists, and political scientists . Please keep in mind that presentation slots are limited to the number of rooms available at the conference. Regular conference sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes. Poster sessions will run concurrently on Friday, October 28 from 9:15-10:15. If there are multiple sessions being submitted, please complete a Form for each one separately.
Please join us as we return to a face to face annual conference on Thursday, October 27-Friday, October 28 at the Classic Center in Athens, Georgia. Proposals should be designed to support educators in learning and honing new skills, teaching methods, content, lesson ideas, or applications of technology to "engage and explore social studies local to global" as they go back into their classroom the following week.
Proposals will be due via this Form link by June 1, 2022. Notification of accepted proposals will be sent to the email submitted in this Form by June 30, 2022. Please ensure this email address is valid over the summer months and is checked often or provide an additional email address for summer notifications and communication.
Thank you for your continued support of GCSS and social studies educators across the state of Georgia.
