Social Studies Standards Workshop

Dates: February 23 and April 30, 2026

This two-day workshop series is designed to equip K–12 teachers and school leaders with the knowledge and tools needed to successfully implement the new social studies standards by the 2026–27 school year. Participants will engage in a guided exploration of the revised standards, including analysis of major content shifts, vertical alignment across grade levels, and implications for curriculum planning.
Throughout the workshop, teams will connect the updated standards to the C3 Framework, deepening their understanding of high-quality instructional practices and identifying necessary instructional shifts to support student learning.

A collaboration between South Central Service Cooperative and the Minnesota Humanities Center, this workshop will also feature Brittany Rawson Haeg, Social Studies Content Lead for the Minnesota Department of Education.

Cost: $200.00 per person for the two days, includes lunch both days
