This is a Social Studies Blog aimed at New York State Social Studies teachers, although many teachers in the United States will probably find it helpful. My name is Linda Lapp, I am the current President of the New York State Council for the Social Studies (NYSCSS). This weekend I attended the Greater Metropolitan New York (GMNY) Social Studies Conference. Other Social Studies teachers asked me about various summer opportunities and how they could learn more about them. I decided then and there to create a blog revoloving around Social Studies Professional Development Opportunities. Please follow this blog and check back often for updates and information.
Right now I would like to direct you to the NYSCSS website where you can download the 2009 Convention Registration packet. Our convention this year will be held in Saratoga, NY - April 1-4. Registrations postmarked before March 17th receive the early bird registration discount. Visit www.nyscss.org to download your registration form today. I hope to see you there!
