The Vision of the Georgia Council for the Social Studies is to prepare students to be knowledgeable, effective decision makers and engaged citizens in a globally interdependent world.
The Georgia Social Studies Journal
The Georgia Social Studies Journal is under new editorship… In the days ahead, the journal will assume a new vision, new scope, and new look! Our goal: TIMELY—RELEVANT—ENGAGING!
Please consider submitting a story about a powerful teaching moment, a reflection about a current issue facing social studies teachers, results of an action research project, or a review of a resource you have found exceptionally useful in your practice.
We want to hear from YOU!
The Georgia Social Studies Journal is an internationally recognized, peer-reviewed online journal that aims to foster critical discussion of teaching and learning in PK-16 social studies. We understand social studies to include various disciplinary strands (history, economics, geography, political science) as well as social education (learning about self in relation to others in communities large and small). We invite three types of submissions: Inquiries, Reflections, and Tools. We will also have exciting new features such as Community Voices and Students Speak Up. Stay tuned!
