PBS @pbsnews.bsky.social Classroom Educator Voice: Here's why social studies matters, according to a 41-year veteran teacher "It's more than just history & civics. It's really everything that encompasses so much of what we do in life." — Anton Schulzki #NCSS #EduSky #sschat bit.ly/4huMUGN

STEM challenge today: can you keep the tea from getting wet in Boston Harbor? I HAVE to make sure my students can converse, collaborate, and problem solve. This worked really well. More history & STEM to come.

We’re learning about NJ in the American Revolution! Our theme: crossroads. How was NJ a literal and figurative crossroads in the American Revolution and what types of crossroads did individual New Jersians come to when making choices during the war? #sschat #iteachsocialstudies

Last week at Alcatraz we came across Hank’s name in the concrete. I’d love to know who Hank was and what he was doing there in 1942. Prisoner? Employee? Kid who lives there with their family? History is about wonder after all. #sschat #iteachsocialstudies

Here we are again! Another battle for the Speaker of the House. Want to know what they do? What they don't do? Why they can be, at times, an emperor? And other times hardly anything at all? @dancassino.bsky.social lays it allllll out. www.civics101podcast.org/civics-101-e... #sschat

I learned so many new things today at Alcatraz Island. I can't wait to share what I learned about it's Civil War history, the Occupation by All Indians, and criminal justice with my students. #edusky #iteachsocialstudies
