The Social Studies Accelerator is excited to introduce a transformative new resource designed to empower educators and district leaders across our nation. This Adoption and Implementation Roadmap will guide you in selecting and implementing culturally responsive and sustaining instructional materials and professional learning strategies that celebrate diversity and foster inclusivity.
