Social Studies for a Better World

Professional Development

As of summer 2024, Social Studies for a Better World is used in nearly 60 teacher preparation programs in the U.S. and Canada! Noreen and Katy have conducted dozen of workshops and talks about the book for school districts, teacher education programs, and national organizations. If you'd like to hire one or both of the authors to lead a workshop or give a keynote for your organization, please fill out the contact form linked below.

In the second edition of Social Studies for a Better World, several recommended resources for teachers were removed for space. Here, we have compiled our recommended reading for teachers interested in doing their own curated professional development. These are some of our favorite books that align with our teaching philosophies, that push us to think differently about the students and families we serve, and that give vibrant examples of anti-oppressive practices. You can click on the topic below to jump directly to that section of recommended titles or scroll all the way through to peruse the full list.
