--Upcoming Workshop--
$100 Stipend for Participants - Breakfast & Lunch Provided
Deadline to Register: September 20, 2024
This program analyzes empirical evidence to address the question of how capitalist institutions influence the well-being of the poor. Drawing from the insights of economic historian and Nobel Laureate, Douglass North, participants will have the opportunity to consider how mixed economies allow consumers and producers to be more informed in making their economic decisions.
​
This workshop would be valuable to any teacher of comparative economies. It would be especially helpful to teachers of the new Grades 6-7 Social Studies Frameworks. Teachers of AP Human Geography and AP Economics would also find value in the materials and resources that will be provided.
-MDCSS is proud to announce the Winners of the 2024 Social Studies Professional of the Year Awards!--
​
These awards are conferred each year at the Annual MDCSS Spring Conference to deserving Social Studies professionals and educators throughout Maryland. Award winners are nominated by their colleagues and nominations are reviewed and voted upon by the Maryland Council for Social Studies Board of Directors. The Maryland Civic Education Coalition Civic Leader of the Year award is selected and conferred by the Maryland Civic Education Coalition each year. In addition to their award and recognition at the Annual Spring Conference, the winners were recognized and honored on the floor of the Maryland General Assembly during an open session at the State House in Annapolis.
