 Built
around the theme "Social Studies: The Heart of the
Curriculum", this year's conference will feature a
special focus on the position of social studies as the center of
the curriculum, touching every other subject area. Social studies
is also a primary area for reaching affective goals, which are so
crucial in citizenship development. Then, there is the heart that
all good social studies teachers bring to their work. NCSS 2005
can help you create effective citizens through more than 300
sessions, workshops, and clinics. Keynote speakers will open your
eyes and engage your mind. Hundreds of exhibit booths will
showcase the latest products and services for the classroom
teacher. And tours will bring the Midwest's history -- and future
-- to life. Take this opportunity to meet and share ideas with
educators from across the country and around the world. Join your
colleagues this November in Kansas City, Missouri. |
