New Mexico Council for the Social Studies Conference
The theme of this conference is "So What? Reclaiming Our Place." Educators are being called to reclaim a place for the social studies. Social studies is the conscience of education and has been overlooked by current educational trends in a high-stakes testing environment. Teachers can reverse this trend. It is up to social studies educators to address the value of social studies in society, in the profession, in the curriculum, and in the lives of children. This conference will allow educators to share teaching ideas, curricular examples, and exemplary models of social studies education.
