The Arizona Council for Social Studies is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting high-quality professional development opportunities for Social Studies educators statewide as they work to prepare their students for civic engagement. Our membership represents K-12 classroom teachers, college and university faculty members, curriculum designers and content specialists, social studies supervisors, and leaders in various social studies disciplines.

NCSS defines social studies as “the study of individuals, communities, systems, and their interactions across time and place that prepares students for local, national, and global civic life.”
