Description:
As part of a series on “Using What You Know,” the Kentucky Council for the Social Studies is offering a 2-part online PD webinar series. The series will introduce teachers to resources and methods for teaching the new Kentucky Social Studies Standards, particularly as they apply to economics.
During the first webinar, educators will model how to take existing curricula and make modifications to meet Kentucky’s new inquiry-based standards using a heuristic for developing inquiry and supporting questions. Additionally, resources from the St. Louis Fed and the EKU Center for Economic Education will be shared.
In the week between webinars, teachers will develop a sample inquiry-based curriculum, being prepared to share at the second webinar where they will have the opportunity to receive feedback from the presenters and their fellow teachers. This will be an open-format webinar, so there will be plenty of opportunities to network and share with your fellow teachers! We hope you will be able to attend.
