ABOUT THE MEMBERSHIP

MEET THE CREATOR

Kirsten Hammond, M.Ed

The Smart and Simple Social Studies Membership was created by Kirsten Hammond of The Southern Teach, an experienced educator who is passionate about creating lessons and activities for upper elementary teachers.

As a classroom teacher, curriculum developer, PD presenter, and parent, Kirsten has pulled from her personal and professional experiences to create engaging, culturally relevant, and standards-aligned activities for students in Grades 3-5.

Her mission is to design social studies curricula and resources using research-based strategies that support teachers and empower students to become informed and active citizens through resources that explore local, state, national, and global individuals, events, and issues from the past and present.

This membership was created for upper elementary teachers who…

Want engaging and high-quality social studies resources all in one place.
Want to maximize prep time and feel confident teaching social studies.
Want social studies to be fun and hands-on for students.
Want access to resources that can easily fit into a schedule, so social studies is never forgotten.
