The Maine Council for the Social Studies
Annual Conference

Social Studies on the Front Burner:
Blending Economics into K-12 Curriculum

October 23rd — Abromson Center, University of Southern Maine, Portland
October 26th — Morgan Hill Event Center, Hermon

On the evaluation forms from the November 2008 conference, there was overwhelming support for smaller regional conferences, and Economics was the most requested theme. In response to this feedback, the Maine Council for the Social Studies in collaboration with the Council on Economic Education will be offering two regional conferences involving Economics and how to incorporate this subject into K-12 social studies curriculum. The registration cost will be $35.00 per person.
