The Pulitzer Center is excited to connect with educators at the National Council for Social Studies (NCSS) Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.!

Connect With Us in the Exhibit Hall

Come see us in the Exhibit Hall all day Friday and Saturday at booth 202 to learn about our free resources for educators and students. We have opportunities for your students and for your professional learning.

We also invite you to contribute your vision for a healthy future to our growing gallery through Ode to Healthy Futures! You can explore this digital platform for making personal connections to health science, share lines of poetry, and get resources to bring this initiative into your classroom or community.

Join Us for a Workshop on Journalism and Civic Engagement

If you're attending NCSS, please join us for a special workshop on Saturday, December 6, 10:50-11:45am EST! In this critical moment for press freedom and media literacy, we'll explore the power and purpose of journalism in the social studies classroom and in democratic society through our workshop "Teaching the Fourth Estate: Using News to Foster Civic Engagement."
