This webinar, led by Kasey Dunn, Teaching and Learning Specialist at Cooperative Educational Services, will focus on emphasizing the significance of explicitly integrating all four social studies disciplines – history, geography, civics, and economics – to foster the development of both content and disciplinary literacies. The session will delve into a sample 3rd-grade inquiry unit, utilizing the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) blueprint as a structural framework. This approach is anticipated to not only meet the precise content standards but also create opportunities for more extensive cross-disciplinary connections.
