NYSCSS Hosts a Webinar

After the 19th Amendment:

Teaching About Women and the American Story

Join NYSCSS and Register Here

The NYSCSS Curriculum & Assessment Committee is proud to sponsor a free, webinar that will explore sources from the New York Historical Society's dynamic Women & the American Story curriculum to trace how women continued to advocate for themselves and their communities after ratification of the 19th Amendment.

Women & the American Story(WAMS) is a free, open access curriculum website from the New-York Historical Society. WAMS connects teachers and students with classroom resources that illuminate diverse women’s contributions to the American past.

This webinar will highlight a diverse range of women—across race, ethnicity, economic status, and geography—and explore the many ways they strove to legitimize their new place in American society in the face of policies and a culture that continued to limit their roles.

About the New-York Historical Society The New-York Historical Society was established in 1804 as New York’s first museum. New-York Historical offers to visitors a vast collection of art, objects, artifacts and documents both onsite and on-line, and an ongoing collecting program that aims to facilitate a broad grasp of history’s enduring importance and its usefulness in finding explanations, causes, and insights.

This event is free to members and non-members.

CTLE credit will be offered to those who attend.

Registration deadline: Monday, November 16, 2020, at noon.

BUDGET UPDATES FOR CIVICS

Governor Cuomo has earmarked $1 million to develop curriculum on Civic Education Education & Values, Shared History of Diversity and the Role of Religious Freedom. NYSED sees this as something to be embedded into/highlighted within the framework, not a standalone curriculum.
NYSED is asking for feedback on next steps.The NYSED Civic Readiness Initiative Survey was initially released in March, but pulled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Please complete and share.
