The world’s largest and most comprehensive social studies professional development conference is NCSS.

This year's gathering of teaching professionals from across the country offers a perfect opportunity to showcase the latest FREE online social studies lessons from Curriculum Pathways. It offers 600+ free social studies tools and resources, each addressing the enhanced rigor and critical thinking goals of the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards. These resources contribute to greater digital equity by offering high-quality, free online software for all.

And now there is something new to celebrate. The 25 most popular Curriculum Pathways social studies lessons just got a makeover!

2018 updates offer standards-aligned web and mobile-friendly resources with the ability to save and re-load to a user portfolio. The NCSS conference is a good opportunity to make sure every teacher knows about these resources. They are now sizzling with the same critical-thinking challenges, but include more maps, more images, and more online assessment tools; you can also save work in a portfolio and access it across all platforms and browsers. Of course, the resources are still free (and nothing beats free). Take a look at old favorites updated for today's students!
