This webinar series covers essential topics in social studies education. It starts with historical understanding, including key events, geographic relationships, and human environment interactions. Economic concepts follow, focusing on economic systems, occupational patterns, and the value of work, spending, and saving. The structure and functions of government are then examined, along with major political documents and the role of citizens in democratic societies. The series concludes with discussions on cultural diversity, the interaction between science, technology, and society, and effective instructional practices and assessment strategies.
