Excited for this event that the DE Center for Civics Education has coordinated w/the Delaware Secretary of State to help students better understand how the electoral college works. Students will engage in a lesson about the electoral college & have a Q&A with the electors. Others can watch online.
On Tuesday, Delaware Sec. State Bullock will join DE’s 3 presidential electors at Del. State University as they cast their votes for U. S. President & VP as part of the 2024 Electoral College. Students will be there in person (or watching online) to learn about it.

On Friday, I will be holding a session on unpacking these new Grade 3 Native History model lessons for district social studies leaders in Delaware. Contact me for the details of this in-person event if you’re interested.
For the 1st time this school year, Delaware public school teachers have access to 20 model lessons to teach 3rd graders about Native history, including the Lenape and Nanticoke people, who originally lived here, and continue to this day. #SSChat #ITeachSocialStudies

What an AMAZING few days at NCSS in Boston! Networking and interacting with teachers, administrators, and curriculum designers has been amazing. A huge bonus was getting to meet and pick the brain of Robert Shetterly from Americans Who Tell the Truth
