Annual Conference
COLORADO COUNCIL FOR THE SOCIAL STUDIES
25th ANNUAL CONFERENCE
April 13, 2012
NEW: This year, we invite Presentation Proposals for Sessions that address our conference theme.
THEME: From Civil War to Civil Rights to Civil Discourse and Civic Life
When we think of Civil War, we focus on this nation in the 1860s and/or on similar conflicts in other nations; for Civil Rights, we might hone in on the 1960s and the actions of Martin Luther King, Jr. and others. For both, we think of the people involved, as well as events and issues that were important. Civil Discourse spotlights students, pre-k-12, who must be prepared to view, construct, and interpret the events and issues they encounter now and in the future, in order to participate fully in Civic Life. These could include, but are not limited to, recent developments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and other nations as well as issues of piracy, nationhood, state/national/global debt, terrorism, immigration, and politics. We must also consider Civil Discourse among all educators involved in the implementation of the Academic Standards and preparation for assessment.
