Keynote: It’s a Discipline Problem: How Eugenic Ideology Persists within Social Studies
Through cultural studies, ethnic studies, queer theory, and critical theory, Tadashi’s research emphasizes accountability towards the experiences of marginalized students by examining the production of knowledge in social studies classrooms.

Civic Literacy: How a Big Orange Dog Helps Creates Tomorrow's Voters
We all love stories. Most of us hate memorizing facts. Instead of memorizing the "three branches of government," I will show how teachers can use stories - like that of the 10-year-old daughter of a congressman who solves mysteries with the help of a dog named Senator Something…to interest students in the basic tenets of American democracy.

The session will focus on the importance of creating a foundation of economic reasoning and applying it to teaching personal finance so that students can make informed decisions regarding money management, budgeting, and saving, by using cost-benefit analysis, marginal analysis, human capital, and opportunity cost.

Academic Connections: Inspiration, Reflection, and Networking for Teachers of SS Methods
Nearly all elementary and secondary teacher candidates take a social studies methods course. But do these courses achieve what we want for them and what exactly do we want? Some of us have long experience preparing teachers, and we center such work in our professional lives. Others of us are adjuncts whose primary role is in K-12 classrooms or other settings, and we may not always be part of the national organizations and conversations that have developed around social studies teacher preparation. And all of us may wonder how to respond to emerging trends specific to California, such as preparing teachers for ethnic studies, or helping them negotiate the conflicts breaking out over controversial topics in localities throughout the state. This meeting is an opportunity for us to share our collective wisdom, by teaching and learning from each other in an informal setting. Our second year in this space, collaborating, doing the work to gain inspiration and insight as we collectively reflect on our hopes for the methods course, and share both our challenges and our successes.
After a catered lunch, expect an afternoon of collaboration, inspiration, networking and special guest speakers. FACILITATORS- Rebecca Valbuena & Chris Lewis Registration Required - Ticketed Event Presenter: Speaker: Rebecca Valbuena Speaker: Chris LewisLocation: |
