Learning through Inquiry

The Lincoln Public Schools Social Studies Blueprint provides a front page for important resources for social studies teachers while also representing a design for the integration of social studies content and skills across a student’s career as a social studies learner.  The “Student as Citizen” reminds us that student learning is at the center and emphasizes a broad definition of “citizen” that includes all students as participants in their communities, nations, and world.  Through instruction focused on inquiry learning, students learn to become informed, active, and engaged citizens.
