  Ranked Choice Voting, RCV, is a simple upgrade to the way we vote which increases voters’ options and holds politicians more accountable by requiring winners to represent a majority of voters.  This webinar explains why our current voting system, plurality, results in a dysfunctional 2-party system, how RCV works, why voters who use RCV prefer it, how it rewards positive campaigns and encourages political cooperation.  You’ll leave equipped to begin to teach about what RCV is and isn’t in your social studies classroom.

  In an age of information overload where credible research, biased opinion, and outright misinformation often coexist, students need more than just content knowledge; they need the analytical skills to navigate, evaluate, and make sense of the sources they encounter. Dimension 3 of the C3 Framework emphasizes the ability to analyze sources and use evidence to support claims and conclusions within an inquiry process. Now more than ever, these skills are essential across all grade levels.

  At the 2026 Annual MCSS Conference, educators will find an array of sessions and keynotes designed to meet this moment. Across two dynamic days, attendees will select from more than sixty concurrent sessions offering practical tools, research-based strategies, and age-appropriate approaches for building students’ source analysis and reasoning skills.

  Whether you’re a veteran educator or new to the profession, this is an unparalleled opportunity to connect, collaborate, and grow alongside peers who share a commitment to preparing students for informed civic life.

  Registration remains just $150 for members and $200 for non-members.
