The Social Studies Department
Studying the human condition.
Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Lisle District 202 Social Studies Department to utilize our curriculum to provide students with tools to be good citizens, neighbors, and members of society. We will accomplish this by providing students with the skills to study our disciplines as well as by providing methods to become accomplished critical thinkers, decision makers, and life-long learners. We will provide our students with an ample body of information related to our disciplines, but we also want students to understand that what they learn isn't as important as what they do to achieve that learning and what they do with that knowledge.
We as Social Studies teachers will strive to refine our methods, work together to coordinate curriculum and general learning philosophies, and stay informed regarding best practices and pedagogical innovation.
