NCSS is pleased to share this free online professional learning opportunity for social studies educators being in partnership with the Institute for Humane Education (IHE). IHE’s online Solutionary Micro-credential Course is designed for middle and high school social studies teachers from across North America. This training aligns perfectly with the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards and provides educators with a framework and resources they can use to support inquiry to action projects during which students select, learn about, and analyze a problem they care about in their school or community and then plan and implement action projects. The course starts January 16, 2025. Further information and registration details can be found here: https://hubs.li/Q02-d2Gc0 #socialstudies #professionallearning
