National Council for the Social Studies [MD]
"The mission of National Council for the Social Studies is to provide leadership, service, and support for all social studies educators." The council is currently the largest association in the country devoted solely to social studies education; and works to establish a successful baseline curriculum for social studies education, to promote effective use of technology in the classroom, and to aid the passage of effective legislation favoring social studies curriculum. The National Council for the Social Studies does this by working with educators and legislators across the country.
The council offers summer educator workshops. The website offers information about the council and its programs, professional information for educators in the social sciences, resources for potential advocates, and links and information regarding external resources, including periodicals and similar organizations.
