The 64th Annual California Council for the Social Studies conference provides the forum for educators navigating both cultural shifts and historical continuity, shaping critical literacy and civic leadership. It offers a platform for diverse voices—teachers, professors, and curriculum developers—to share interdisciplinary strategies, from art to digital media and AI literacy, empowering youth and promoting equity. Explore innovative teaching practices, including ethnic studies and the State Seal of Civic Engagement, and delve into transformative learning methods like youth participatory action research and restorative justice. Unite with CCSS to reimagine social studies education at #CCSS25, where collaboration and innovation pave the way for informed citizenship and deeper learning.
