Statewide Social Studies Conference

In recent years, the Delaware Council for the Social Studies hosted a statewide social studies conference on the "state inservice day" which would have occurred this coming fall on Friday, October 9th. Due to the reduction in professional development days, most districts report that they will be keeping their teachers in the districts on that day. Reluctantly, DCSS cancelled this year's conference. Professional development groups concerned about the diminishing status of social studies are considering a weekend conference on a date or dates yet to be determined.

• Do you think that plans to hold a weekend mini-conference should move forward?


• Would you attend a Friday evening/Saturday conference or a Saturday only conference?
