How do we make social studies more meaningful and memorable for students? This session focuses on practical strategies to boost engagement and student ownership, along with tools for making test prep more effective without sacrificing curiosity or critical thinking. Whether you’re looking to try new activities or tighten up your approach to state testing, you’ll leave with ideas you can use right away. As always, we’ll close with a collaborative networked improvement community to workshop real classroom challenges and build on each other’s ideas.
