NCSS 2025 is a national education initiative that aims to prepare students for success in college, career, and citizenship by focusing on developing their critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. It was launched in 2010 by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and has since been adopted by schools and districts across the country.
NCSS 2025 is based on the belief that all students deserve access to a high-quality social studies education that will help them understand the world around them and make informed decisions about their future. The initiative provides educators with resources and support to help them implement best practices in social studies instruction and assessment.
