C3 State Hubs

What are C3 State Hubs?

C3 Teacher State Hubs bring educators together to develop and share inquiry-based instructional materials and professional development opportunities. New York State is our featured C3 State Hub. Our work with states began in 2014 in the state New York with the New York State Social Studies Toolkit project. Eight new state hubs have come online since then including Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia. See more about these states below.  Make sure to also check out our Organizational Hubs.
