Previous Professionals of the Year

Every year, the Maryland Council for the Social Studies honors outstanding educators, leaders, and advocates who transform social studies education across our state.

​

Our past Professional of the Year award winners represent the very best of Maryland’s classrooms and school districts. From visionary elementary and secondary teachers to promising new educators and dedicated instructional leaders, these honorees go above and beyond to cultivate critical thinking, civic responsibility, and global awareness. We are proud to recognize their commitment to empowering the next generation of informed, empathetic citizens.
