Conference Theme:
C3 and the Civic Mission of Schools

The College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards guides educators on the concepts, skills and disciplinary tools necessary to prepare students for college, career, and civic life. In doing so, the C3 Framework offers guidance and support for rigorous student learning. That guidance and support takes form in an inquiry arc—a set of interlocking and mutually reinforcing ideas that feature the four Dimensions of informed inquiry in social studies: (1) developing questions and planning inquiries; (2) applying disciplinary concepts and tools; (3) evaluating sources and using evidence; and (4) communicating conclusions and taking informed action.

Lodging at a special conference rate will be available at the Holiday Inn Downtown Johnstown.
