📢 Iowa Social Studies Teachers! 📢
Join us at the @IA_SSCouncil Annual Conference on October 21 in Altoona, IA for our session: Co-Create History with Inquiry Essentials.
Explore Inquiry Essentials, a FREE resource that helps students answer the question, "How can we use inquiry to co-create the history of the world around us?"
You’ll work with fellow Iowa educators to:
✅ Create original inquiries focused on human responses to pandemics and epidemics over time
✅ Learn strategies for using primary sources to develop evidence-based responses
✅ Bring inquiry-based learning to life in your classroom
Walk away with practical tools to engage your students!
