Advocating
for Social Studies Education in Ohio:

Social Studies education. Identified issues discussed
in the position statement include:
- Ohio Academic Content Standards Revision
- Proposed Assessment Program Revisions: End of Course
exams, Nationally-Normed Standardized Assessment
- Proposed Assessment Program Revisions: Service Learning
and Senior Capstone
- Professional Development
Read the
position statement and be sure to contact your state
legislators to share your thoughts as a constituent and OCSS
member.
