NCSS is proud to celebrate #Juneteenth National Independence Day! Officially recognized in 2021, our newest federal holiday marks the date of June 19, 1865, when emancipation was enforced for the last enslaved African Americans by the Union Army in Galveston, Texas.

In observance of #Juneteenth, the VCEE office will be closed. Juneteenth commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865, and more broadly, the emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the South. REFLECT | HONOR | CELEBRATE

Can’t we just get social studies & science through ELA by using knowledge-building ELA curriculum? Actually, no. Integration in practice tends to look like the ineffective integration described on this @CCSSO infographic. 5/8

🧵Useful article by @s_e_schwartz explaining how/why social studies (& science) have been marginalized in elementary schools. This issue is well-understood among social studies educators, and many of us have been advocating for years to fix it. How?

Administrators, teachers, and parents need to understand the extent to which social studies is marginalized, and that policy choices have led to the current marginalization of social studies & science in elementary. We can make different choices if we want different policies. 2/8
