South Carolina Council for the Social Studies

The South Carolina Council for the Social Studies is affiliated with the National Council for the Social Studies. The SCCSS provides opportunities for members to share their development of ideas with other educators from the state and southeast region. The goal here is to provide a closer relationship among social studies teachers among the state of South Carolina. I did find one instructional site that focuses on teaching American history in South Carolina that would help immediately in student teaching, and I did notice that they have an annual conference each year that I could attend. I think anyone teaching in the state would find this organization useful simply for its devotedness to unify social studies teachers. I especially think that the organization would be good for first year teachers so that they do not feel like they are going into their profession alone.
