WELCOME! My goal is to provide Social Studies teachers across Connecticut with links to the highest quality teaching and resource sites on the Internet. This “work in progress” is maintained by the Social Studies Education Program at Central Connecticut State University. It is in a bit of disarray at the moment (Spring 2018), as I’ve added a series of links but have not categorized them yet.

Let Freedom Swing – This project explores the relationships between jazz and democracy. Two iconic Americans are at the heart of Let Freedom Swing: (retired) Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and jazz composer, trumpeter, and educator Wynton Marsalis. The videos and study guide are designed for use in social studies, humanities, and music classes in grades 6-12.
