ALABAMA COUNCIL FOR THE SOCIAL STUDIES

Welcome to the Alabama Council for Social Studies

We are an organization of educators from K-12 and higher education in the state of Alabama dedicated to social studies education. Our goal is to enable students to become global citizens and prepare them for the future. We do this by engaging educators from around the state in collaboration to empower them to be advocates within their own classrooms. We want students to become explorers of their world and to make connections between the past and present to become informed decision makers in the future.
We welcome all educators who share this same passion!

2021 Conference- Evaluating The Health of America's Democracy Past, Present, and Future

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

From the President: Dr. Adam NeSmith

Last night, the Alabama Council for the Social Studies (ALCSS) executive leadership and Board of Directors made the difficult decision to move our annual conference as a fully virtual event.

Like you, we share the same disappointment in not getting to have an in-person conference this year. We miss seeing our loyal sponsors, teachers, and vendors. We make this decision to ensure the health and safety of all due to the increasing numbers of COVID-19 throughout the state of Alabama.
We look forward to having a wonderful virtual conference and learning with you on October 22, 2021. Please be on the lookout for more information on our webpage and Facebook page.
Best,
Adam W. NeSmith
