Collaborate:

A2 chats like this, attend your state conference, attend National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) conference! The best collaboration for me has come from folks I met here and worked with at the national conference! Summer PD as well, NEH, Gilder, WW2 museum, etc #sschat

SocialStudiesTx Matt Campbell, Ed.D. Howsonhistory The SSChat Network I’m Gina Kutilek and I’m a social studies and ASL teacher from Iowa in year 8! Collaboration makes me immediately think of “team work”

A1: working together...having time to sit and bounce ideas off each other. We come up with some of the best things during the lunch break too 😅

A2 with #sschat The SSChat Network first ATTENDING what is offered. And ask questions. People really do want to help. Ask and join. Be a part of the great things offered. I am lucky to be a part of TX Social Studies

I am a part of TX Social Studies and it has helped me be the teacher I am today! The annual conference always fills my heart and repairs any holes in my soul from the previous year 🩷 #sschat The SSChat Network

A4 #sschat The SSChat Network introduced me to soooo many people who have been a huge support for me in not just teaching but life. They have become friends. They have lofted my spirits when my campus seemed to be collapsing. I am so grateful for the people of TX Social Studies

A4: I can't even begin to say how much I've grown because of local & national councils, iCivics Ednet, GLI, WAMS-- I love to learn & I love being with other learners. I'm a better teacher because I've been lucky to surround myself with other passionate educators! #sschat

A4) Leadership opportunities (Oklahoma Council for History Education), networking and conferences (National Council for History Education), and the inclusion of relevant and inclusive curricular resources in my former days as a classroom teacher. #historymatters #sschat

This organization has definitely added value to my teaching! It has shaped so much of who I am as a teacher!

A5 O have attended numerous state ones hosted by TX Social Studies and connected with teachers that continue to help me. I was fortunate to go to 3 National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) in my career and hope to go to more. Luckily social media helps me network and learn too!

If we could - our council would love to slow time down for every one at these amazing conferences —- not as an escape but for the chance to savor every bit of the experience and to then to return back to scheduled programming. #sschat

A6 You see that cool thing my class just did? It came from learning from others and you can learn it to by going to the conferences, joining the groups, clicking the social media posts! #sschat

A7 my brain has been working over time on some amazing outreach programs!! And I cannot wait to get them started!! TX Social Studies #sschat
