The 91st NCSS Annual Conference will provide the most comprehensive professional development available, an investment in your career well worth the time and expense, but school money is very tight. We have a few suggestions on where to look for financial support to attend:

Check with your principal or department chair to see if there is any professional development money available. You may be pleasantly surprised. Attending a national conference with all of its sessions, workshops, and many other opportunities for education often qualifies as professional development training.

If professional development funds are not available, ask about Title I funds. These are often more available and you can usually write the application to fit social studies.

If your district has a Teaching American History grant, you may find funds available there. There are more than 100 U.S. History sessions ideally suited for TAH grantees.

Take advantage of the $250 educator expense deduction on your federal taxes to help cover out-of-pocket professional development costs.

Use “literacy” in your request to attend. The 2011 NCSS Annual Conference will include sessions on literacy and social studies, both because it makes sense and to help teachers convince their districts to let them attend.
