Welcome!
OCSS welcomes all persons interested in the teaching

as well as representatives from
the corporate world of social studies
educational publications and resources.
Now's the Time to Join!
This year, as economic conditions continue to affect all teachers and their
families in Oklahoma and our nation, the Oklahoma Council for Social Studies
would like to extend a moratorium on its memberships dues. Now, new members can
join FREE!
Current members, you can renew your membership for FREE, as well.
