2026 NCSS Summer Virtual Conference – From Revolution to Resilience: Exploring America’s Past, Present, and Future
June 23 - June 24
From the birth of the nation in 1776 to the enduring impact of 9/11, the American story is one of revolution, challenge, and resilience. Join us in celebrating 250 years of resilience and explore how pivotal events – from the founding to the present – can be taught in ways that engage students in critical thinking, civic responsibility, and historical understanding.
From Revolution to Resilience will emphasize the importance of connecting students with the full complexity of American history, using inclusive content and dynamic teaching strategies. As we mark 250 years of U.S. history and 25 years since 9/11, we look ahead, preparing students not only to understand the past, but to shape a more resilient and informed future.
