Online – Disciplinary Literacy as the Goal
October 7 @ 7:30 am - 8:30 am CDT
Explore disciplinary literacy as the core goal of social studies instruction. Participants will deepen their understanding of what it means for students to think, read, write, and reason like historians, geographers, economists, and political scientists. This session will support leaders in clarifying the difference between disciplinary literacy in the social sciences from content area literacy, and answer why disciplinary literacy needs to be the driver of task and lesson design.
The Minnesota Department of Education, in partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center, will host virtual sessions to support implementation of the 2021 K-12 Academic Standards in Social Studies, held monthly during the 2026–27 school year. These sessions are open to anyone with building or district-level responsibilities for curriculum planning and development in all social studies content areas, including curriculum directors, department leads, and teachers. Pre-registration is required for all sessions.
K-12 Educators will receive 1 clock hour upon completion of the session.
