88th NCSS Annual Conference

Please join us in Houston this November for the 88th NCSS Annual Conference, the nation's premier social studies professional development event.

Plan now to join thousands of K-12 teachers, college faculty, and other social studies professionals in Houston to hear provocative speakers, attend stimulating sessions, learn new ideas and best practices, develop new lessons, and meet colleagues from across the nation and around the world.

We are educating our students to adapt and prosper in a world of continuous and accelerating change. How can we best prepare them for it? With the theme "Embrace the Future," the conference will provide multiple ideas and avenues for social studies professionals to help our students develop the 21st century skills to thrive as citizens in our participatory democracy.

The conference will be held November 14-16, 2008 at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

Downtown Houston has revitalized with more than $5 billion of development over the past decade, including the new, 12-acre urban park Discovery Green set directly across from the Convention Center; the 17-block Theater District offering world-class performances in opera, ballet, symphony, and theater; state-of-the-art stadiums featuring sports action year-round (baseball, basketball, hockey); and hundreds of restaurants and nightclubs, all making Houston a great convention city, and providing an ideal mix of social, cultural, and professional opportunities for the 88th NCSS Annual Conference. We hope to see you in Houston!
