Join social studies and social science teachers from around the country as we explore ways to use Newsela’s culturally-relevant and representative content to unlock students’ passion for civic engagement and community involvement for the coming school year. You’ll leave with ideas and inspiration to plan meaningful lessons that help students understand the world around them and work toward a better tomorrow.
This 2-hour workshop will include:
- A hands-on session designed for social studies teachers to dig into how Newsela aligns with the Next-Gen Social Studies standards to help students become informed and engaged citizens.
-
A presentation from Newsela Fellow, Amy Sakowitz, on using Newsela’s primary and secondary source documents to better understand human rights.
- A product deep dive into what’s new with Newsela so you can add to your teacher toolkit for the 21-22 school year.
