California Council for the Social Studies 59th Annual Conference

This session will discuss how to bring current event topics that are relevant to students in both their academic and personal lives. By creating a writing activity that is accessible by all learners (on all curriculum pathways), students will connect the causes of the Protestant Reformation with the issues that affect their lives today.

The focus will be on providing resources implement the humanities Modeling and coaching will be provided on instructional techniques to differentiate teaching and alignment.
