SUMMARY:Online - Repeatable Routines: Building Formative Tasks for Social Studies\, Session Two
DESCRIPTION:Continue refining formative assessment practices by exploring structured routines that encourage student engagement\, reflection and feedback in the social studies classroom. \nThe Minnesota Department of Education\, in partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center\, will host virtual and in-person sessions to support planning for and implementation of the 2021 K-12 Academic Standards in Social Studies\, held monthly during the 2025–26 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 in-person sessions. \nVirtual sessions will have content similar to in-person sessions\, and whenever possible will feature the same speakers.  \nIn-person sessions will be an hour longer than virtual sessions and will allow time for supported collaborative work and networking.  \nWhile districts are encouraged to have a representative at each monthly session\, either in-person or virtual\, participants do not need to commit to attending all nine sessions. Participants are also welcome to attend either session type throughout the year\, as is best suited to their needs and schedule. \nK-12 educators will receive 1 clock hour. \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: brittany.rawson-haeg@state.mn.us  \nRegister Now
