Preparing for Chicago and the 2026 @NCSSNetwork Annual Conference! My session, “Religious Literacy as Global Competence: Preparing Students for a Pluralistic World,” explores how we can help students understand religious diversity, examine perspectives, and engage thoughtfully across differences. Religious literacy is not extra. It is a civic skill. Looking forward to this conversation with fellow social studies educators. #NCSS2026 #ReligiousLiteracy #GlobalCompetence

Loved using the visual analysis strategy OPTIC I got from an article from @NCSSNetwork written by @mrdaltonsavage! The process produced greater analysis at the end than from the beginning. I think it would work well with any grade level!
