The Connecticut Council for the Social Studies will host the 43rd Northeast Regional Conference (NERC) on the Social Studies at the Sturbridge (MA) Host Hotel and Conference Center from April 3 through April 5, 2012. NERC is an excellent opportunity to learn, to share, to develop strategies for continuing our important work, and to network in a professional and stimulating setting. This year’s theme, “21st Century Learning: The Role and Future of the Social Studies,” will ensure that the social studies continue to stay ahead of the changes taking place in our schools and society. Each day of NERC presents its own opportunities for social studies educators. Exhibitors from publishing houses, museums, and other organizations will have materials and information available. There will be a number of exciting half- and full-day workshops available on Tuesday, and more than seventy presenters leading sessions and clinics between Wednesday and Thursday. Connecticut’s Secretary of State Denise Merrill will speak at a Connecticut Council for the Social Studies (CCSS)-sponsored luncheon on Thursday about the importance of civic education. Basic workshop summaries and registration forms are now available online at the CCSS website (www.ctsocialstudies.org). Additional details will be available closer to the conference.
