India Meissel, History Department of Lakeland High School in Suffolk, Virginia and Past President of the National Council for the Social Studies, will provide a classroom application discussion during each session.
Each session will last between 60 and 90 minutes and include an opportunity for participants to ask questions of the speakers and discuss content and application for all grade levels – elementary through secondary.
