The goal of this webinar series is to deepen social studies content knowledge and pedagogy and showcase what a social studies learning experience aligned to the KAS for Social Studies looks like in practice. After KDE consultants break down a disciplinary strand standard, a partner educational organization engages 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.
