Kansas Council for the Social Studies

Our blog, Doing Social Studies, is up and running. We're excited about the opportunity it provides for generating discussion about what high-quality social studies looks like in the 21st century. KCSS board members and other educators from around the state will share ideas, resources, and materials about how we can all do social studies better.

We'd love for you to be a part of the conversation! Join in by posting ideas and suggestions in the comments.

Twenty-five teachers attended the Teaching with Primary Sources summer workshop. Part of their work involved writing and implementing primary document-based lesson plans. From Salvador Dali to the Civil War to the Great Depression, find teacher-tested lesson plans here.
