The 2020 Conference has been postponed.
Good Day New Hampshire Social Studies Teachers,
Unfortunately due to the worldwide pandemic, the NHCSS has made the difficult decision to cancel our fall conference scheduled for October 28th, 2020. The NHCSS will review the situation in November 2020 and make a determination at that time based on the latest Center for Disease Control’s guidelines along with protocols and procedures outlined by the state of New Hampshire as to whether we will host a physical conference in March 2021, a virtual conference in March 2021, or cancel the conference entirely.
As fellow educators we appreciate, the hard work and dedication that each of you are putting into your classrooms during these difficult times. We continue to look forward to your workshop proposal submissions that would further social studies education in the state of New Hampshire. Please utilize the following link: http://www.nhcss.org/presenter-proposals.html to submit the fantastic work that I know each of you have created before the Covid 19 crisis as well as the phenomenal work that you have developed during remote learning.
The NHCSS sincerely hopes to offer each of you an exemplary conference in March that would benefit you and your students. Please watch for updates in November 2020 on the NHCSS Facebook page and our website: http://www.nhcss.org/.
Thank you for patience, flexibility, and commitment to social studies education in New Hampshire!

Schooling’s Body Problem
As they improved pedagogy and teacher training, the reformers who built America’s public school system in the early 1800s also sought to expand the time children spent in school. But there was a problem: physicians insisted that school made people sick. Both children and teachers faced health risks that were poised to worsen. New England educators and physicians teamed up to block and possibly reverse these dangers. The first hygiene textbooks, redesigned chairs and school buildings, and school-based exercise were intended to convert schooling into part of the solution. Drawing on research for her forthcoming book, Rebecca R. Noel traces the fixation on health among common school reformers, with links to school practices and health issues today. Rebecca R. Noel is Professor of History and History Coordinator at Plymouth State University. She holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in American and New England Studies from Boston University and a B.A. in History from Yale University. She teaches history courses on the antebellum and Civil War era, American medicine, childhood, and the American West. She has published articles on the history of school architecture and school health. Her book in progress is Save Our Scholars: The Quest for Health in American Schools. |
