Howdy! 

What brings you to the OC for SS? Is it the keynote speakers? The collaboration with other educators? Are you seeking inspiration for the upcoming school year? Or is it, yes, the clock hours? Whatever the reason, we’re happy you’re here!

Why Learn History Book Club  

Our asynchronous OC for SS Book Club is flying through the pages! Grab your copy of Why Learn History (When It’s Already on Your Phone) by keynote speaker Sam Wineburg, and then join us in examining Part 2 of the book. We have a new set of questions for you to consider this week as you reflect upon what it means to be a history teacher in 2022.
