We are fortunate to have two Social Studies Conferences in our area! On December 11th Westchester-Lower Hudson Council for the Social Studies Conference will be at the Crowne Plaza in White Plains. This one day conference features Dr. Joel Westheimer as the keynoter. He is Professor of Education, University of Ottowa and the author of Pledging Allegiance: The Politics of Patriotism in American Schools. Jo Ann Larson will give an update from NYSED, the publishers will be out in force, and there will be workshops for every grade level. Find out more at http://www.socialstudies.org/node/254
March 4-6, 2010 will find the New York State Council for the Social Studies at the Rye Town Hilton. This Conference only comes to our area about once in every 5 years, so you won't want to miss it.
