The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has partnered with several organizations to showcase what a social studies learning experience aligned to the KAS for Social Studies looks like in practice. This webinar series is designed to deepen participants’ social studies content knowledge and pedagogy.  

In these presentations, representatives from the KDE will support teachers in breaking down a disciplinary standard. Then, a partner educational organization will engage participants in a sample learning experience using resources from their organization. These learning experiences are designed for participants’ use in their own classrooms with their students. 

The following are the scheduled webinars for this fall: 

October 9: Grade 2 Kentucky Economics Focus with the Kentucky Historical Society 

October 16: Grade 5 History Focus with the Bill of Rights Institute 

October 23: Grade 2 Economics Focus with the St. Louis Federal Reserve 

October 30: Kindergarten Kentucky Geography with Kentucky Agriculture and Environment in the Classroom (Teach KY Ag) 

All webinars will take place from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET. Complete the social studies webinar series registration form to attend and you will receive a Teams meeting invitation and link.
