Dr. Kathy Swan to Deliver the Roselle Lecture
The Daniel Roselle Lecture, the keynote address of each MSCSS conference since 1982, will be delivered by Dr. Kathy Swan, Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Kentucky.
Dr. Swan has degrees from Mount St. Mary's College (Emmitsburg, MD) and Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore). She earned the Doctorate at University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
Her specialties include the use of technology in social studies education and teaching history with primary source material. Besides teaching methods courses, Dr. Swan is Program Faculty Chair of the Secondary Social Studies Education Program.
Dr. Swan was the lead presenter at NCSS sessions in Seattle that described C3: College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Inquiry in Social Studies State Standards. The framework is a joint venture of the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and fifteen professional organizations in the social studies fields.
The Roselle Lecture/Award was established to honor the legacy of Daniel Roselle, long-time editor of SOCIAL EDUCATION and a stalwart in the growth of the National Council for the Social Studies.
