This is a historical research study of the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS or Council) from 1968 to 1978. The Council, established in 1921, is the premiere professional association for the social studies. Traditionally, the NCSS has served as an umbrella organization for a loosely connected set of occupational groups from various social science disciplines with an assortment of philosophical orientations toward social studies education. In order to maintain cohesiveness, the Council has tended to emphasize consensus and compromise over leadership of the social studies field. However, there is a common conversation among longtime NCSS members that the Council led the social studies field while instituting democratic reforms in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive historical treatment of the NCSS during this period. In order to address this vacuum, this study made use of a historical research model. Specifically, this study utilized an array of primary sources from the Council's archival records along with interviews of NCSS leaders from this period. This study asserts that the NCSS experienced two waves of reform during this era. There were establishment reforms instituted in the late Sixties, and, later, radical reforms prompted, in part, by the "NCSS Task Force Report." Both waves of reform included changes in leadership, publications, council governance, council development, and social issue activism. As a result of this surge of reform, the Council was modernized, democratized, and, at least temporarily, it led the social studies field.
