The State of Illinois has long recognized the importance of learning specific topics in history, civics, geography, and economics. Recently, Illinois has begun embracing a wider range of voices, experiences, contributions, and stories from historically marginalized communities and identities. This Professional Development Credit seminar series provides ICSS members opportunity to explore Illinois Instructional Mandates to better serve their students.
