This professional learning community (PLC) is for anyone who is a Social Studies/Civics educator in a school setting in Massachusetts. This PLC will be a place for Social Studies/Civics educators to share in problems of practices, developing ideas, and learning together on developments in the field. We’ll be gathering in our virtual meetings as partners and be in communication throughout. 

This PLC is very participant-driven and topics are going to be decided by the group with facilitation by Peter Vamosy. We’ll be meeting for 8 sessions, online, once a month between October 19, 2024 – May 2025. If you attend at least 6 sessions and participate actively, you can receive 15 PDPs in content, so please come prepared to share (confidentially of course) any current situations, questions you have, and share your expertise.

The sessions will follow a structure to support our work which will look like:

  • Welcome and review of agenda
  • Conversations about our shared practice
  • Protocol to help focus the conversation
  • Closing and gratitudes

Topics of our conversation may include:

  • Discussing and exploring culturally responsive practices in Social Studies/Civics
  • Exploring challenges faced by Social Studies/Civics teachers
  • Sharing example problems of our practice as a group and conferring together about potential solutions
  • Exploring resources that can address the needs of students of the global majority and other marginalized communities
  • Collaborating with other educators

Please note: If you would like PDPs, you will need to choose the $100 registration option. This fee covers the cost of administering PDPs. While participants can join at any time, PDPs are only provided to those who attend at least 6 sessions.
