MAINE COUNCIL FOR THE SOCIAL STUDIES

MCSS 2026 CONFERENCE Monday, August 3, 2026 @ Wolfe's Neck Center in Freeport, ME REGISTRATION IS LIVE! Register before June 15 and save some money with our early bird discount! The theme of the 2026 is Social Studies is Revolutionary. 2026 marks the Semiquincentennial, or the 250th anniversary of the United States and the Declaration of Independence. As the United States marks this anniversary, we affirm that social studies is itself a revolutionary subject, and how we teach social studies should be revolutionary, too! Social studies can change how we understand the world and our place in it and can lead to real social and political change. When we study history, economics, culture, and government, we are better empowered to participate in democracy and advocate for change. Questions? Email MCSS President and conference chair Kathleen Neumann at kneumann@mainehistory.org. |
