America at 250: Promises, Paradoxes, and the Present. "A Revolution That Traveled"
Presented by National Council for the Social Studies
This webinar is part of the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) 'America at 250' series, exploring the theme 'Promises, Paradoxes, and the Present' through the lens of 'A Revolution That Traveled.' As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026, this professional learning series examines how revolutionary ideals have been interpreted, challenged, and extended throughout American history. The session provides social studies educators with content knowledge and teaching perspectives for helping students engage critically with the founding principles, contradictions, and evolving promises of American democracy. The 'America at 250' theme encourages educators to explore both the aspirations and the realities of the nation's history, making it a rich resource for classroom discussions about citizenship, democracy, and civic engagement. The National Council for the Social Studies is the largest professional association in the United States devoted solely to social studies education, supporting teachers with professional development, standards, and resources that strengthen teaching about history, geography, economics, and civic participation.
