Staff Development

"Creating Effective Citizens...One Student At A Time."

Members of the Oklahoma Council for Social Studies have  extensive training, resources, and classroom experiences which they would like to share with fellow social studies teachers of Oklahoma.

This year, the Board of Directors for OCSS are offering a variety of professional development sessions to any Oklahoma school district. If you, your principal, your superintendent, or your professional development committee are seeking qualified teacher training, please feel free to contact our volunteers directly.
