Thank you for your interest in being a presenter at the the Maine Council for the Social Studies annual conference to be held on August 3, 2026 at Wolfe's Neck Center in Freeport, ME!
This year we are looking for 3 presenters offering content/instruction for elementary teachers and 3 presenters offerings content/instruction for middle/high school teachers. Our attendees are always eager to meet and work with presenters like yourself who can share their expertise and experience. They especially value workshop sessions that are interactive, hands on, and answer the question, “How do I teach this content?” and “How is this presentation helpful to educators working on proficiency standards?” The goal of our conference is to share best practices around economics, geography, history, technology, civics, and global studies through the offered sessions and workshops.
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. Please indicate how your proposed session/workshop could connect to this theme.
DEADLINE TO SUBMIT IS MAY 15, 2026!
