MCEE was recently honored by the Middle States Council for Social Studies, receiving its Distinguished Service Award for “innovative ideas to support more effective social studies education.”

MCEE’s Director of Teacher Education George Toepfer accepted the award at the MSCSS Awards Ceremony on Saturday, March 2 in Annapolis.

The oldest professional organization in the country devoted to social studies education, The Middle States Council for Social Studies engages and supports social studies educators in grades K-12 and beyond across five states.

Said Julie Weaver, MCEE Executive Director, “We’re incredibly proud to be recognized for the work we do reaching more than 200,000 Maryland students a year with creative and engaging personal finance and economics learning experiences. This content is a natural and important component of social studies. This honor is motivating and affirming as we continue to inspire and support teachers as they bring these critical concepts to  students, families, and communities throughout Maryland.”
