If you haven't heard about the C3, or don't understand how these Social Studies Standards impact your library program, then this webinar is made just for you. In this webinar, Paige Jaeger explains the National Social Studies Standards in an easy-to-understand way and models how your library research projects should change to align with the C3 standards. She shows how to move beyond names and dates and begin operating under the Arc of Inquiry. This makeover to your program will ensure that your students graduate ready for College, Career, and Civic (C3) life.

Paige shared how to:

• Gather new ideas for aligning and repackaging social studies research projects for our next-gen students
• Assess whether your current projects are aligned with the new Social Studies Standards focus
• Weave technology into projects for higher level thought and seamless use in packaging learning adventures
