Meet Us in the Heart of Kentucky!

Meet with Kentucky's social studies educators, administrators, and professionals from across the state to rejuvenate your teaching strategies and collaborate with others in social studies education. ​

The  KCSS Annual Conference in conjunction with the Kentucky History Education Conference will address the sub-themes of:
  • How can I structure a basic inquiry with driving questions, diverse sources, and clear tasks?
  • What strategies can I use to foster critical literacy within an inquiry-based lesson or unit?
  • How can I effectively integrate information literacy skills into an inquiry lesson or unit?
  • What are effective methods for ensuring source accessibility in an inquiry lesson?
  • How can I strategically scaffold sources throughout inquiry lessons and units?
  • And so much more!
You will leave the conference with strong strategies for delivering instruction that engages students, the best ways to advocate for the most pressing issues of social studies education, and a network of colleagues to support you throughout the year.
