| About the ICSS |
The Illinois Council for the Social Studies (ICSS) was founded in 1938 in order to improve
social studies teaching, to develop the professional interests of social studies instructors,
and to cooperate with other organizations working for a better social understanding in the state,
nation, and world. ICSS provides professional development opportunities, publications, and service
to Illinois teachers. As an affiliate of the National Council for the Social Studies, ICSS is the
professional organization for social educators in Illinois.
