Bootcamp Professional Development
Social Studies Bootcamp is a two-day workshop, rigorous and intense, in a "build your own PD" type format. In a non-COVID-19 pandemic year, the first day is full of information and resources. That evening, you provide feedback on what is important for the second day, at which times different groups are set up to work on what YOU think best fits your needs.
District groups are encouraged to attend!

Bootcamp 2021 will be focused on The Big Picture! K-12 Social Studies standards, curriculum, and instruction through the lens of the work of Dr. Gholdy Muhammad. More information and registration can be found at https://bit.ly/BC2021reg.
