Online – Instructional Observation for Social Studies Leaders
January 13, 2027 @ 7:30 am - 8:30 am CST
Develop tools and strategies for observing social studies instruction through a disciplinary lens. Participants will learn what to look for in classrooms, including evidence of student reasoning, effective use of sources, and alignment between tasks and the disciplinary thinking represented in the benchmarks. This session supports leaders in giving more precise and instructionally meaningful feedback grounded in social studies practices.

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.
