We will dig into why it is important to teach about Wabanaki, the first people of this land, as well as how to effectively. Wabanaki who were not given the right to vote until 1967, are an integral part of this state's democracy. We'll look at ways to teach about Wabanaki in a way that unites us and builds off each others strengths. Register at mainesocialstudies.org Session Announcement

Hey Maine social studies teachers, heads up! Also share with all your teacher friends!
The State Board of Education will hold regional meetings from August through December focused on public comment for certification regulations. more info here: mainedoenews.net/2024/08/22/…
Historic day today, eh? After we’ve had a minute to process, has it blown up your planned election lessons yet? Not sure how to incorporate it? Let’s share our ideas and resources so we can support each other.
Stay cool Maine and check out one of these amazing Juneteenth celebrations tomorrow! Across the state we are celebrating the end of slavery and the continued fight for equality.
Just heard that the @splcenter is winding down @learnforjustice and that their staff has been laid off. This would be a huge loss for materials foe educators who want to teach Hard History. @NCSSNetwork
