| Description | | With the divisiveness in society today, there is no better time to help students understand the importance of Social Studies. This networking opportunity for K-12 Social Studies teachers will provide the educators the opportunity to look at the 2019 Nebraska Social Studies Standards and gain an understanding of the shifts. Teachers will also be provided with tools to help navigate the standards and shifts. A specific focus will be on civic online reasoning to support teachers as they help students discern facts from false information on the Internet. A variety of tools to support students in gaining confidence in applying civil discourse to their lives will also be made available and modeled. In addition to this, resources from all six areas of the Social Sciences (Civics, Econ, Geography, History, Psychology, and Sociology) will be provided.
