STATEMENT
The California Council for the Social Studies is the leading organization in our state supporting and advocating for quality instruction in history and the social sciences. As a member of the Board, I am committed to continuing the legacy of CCSS as an organization that connects educators from all regions of California as they strive to create the next generation of civically literate, critical thinking, and independently minded citizens of our democracy. This is what's needed to maintain the great experiment that is American democracy, and I am committed to maintaining CCSS as an organization focused on this mission.
