As the New York State Education Department develops more detailed recommendations for New York's Graduation Requirements, we remain committed to advocating for Social Studies education, PK-12.  Students in New York deserve four units of credit in high school Social Studies in order to be prepared for the challenges of the 21st century world.  Social Studies educators in New York deserve a seat at the table as these decisions are being made.  The New York State Council for the Social Studies continues to advocate for both educators and the discipline.  You can stay informed through our monthly newsletter.  The July edition is available here.
