Conference Title: Canada and an Ever-changing World

Location: Miles Macdonell Collegiate, 757 Roch Street, Winnipeg, MB

Date: October 21, 2022

Our world is ever-changing. Political, economic, and social forces are constantly creating new challenges and opportunities and, all the while, we continue to see the devastating effects of an unmitigated climate crisis. Canada, of course, is not immune from this changing world. As social science educators we see firsthand the way these forces impact our students, classrooms, and communities; these forces compel a pedagogical response. The 2022 MSSTA MTS PD Day features 30 sessions that each offer their own possible response to this ever-changing world. These sessions cover an array of salient themes many of which are geared to engage students in these challenges. In addition, the keynote address will be delivered by the highly renowned educator and scholar, Dr. Joel Westheimer, whose conceptions of citizenship can serve to inspire educators in this time of change. Throughout the day, teachers will have the opportunity to visit the many different displays from organizations who are also interested in helping navigate these challenges.

"This year, in conjunction with MSSTA, the Manitoba Education Research Collective (MERC) will be hosting its own stream of events. This includes time for pitching research ideas and workshopping with other MERC members, a keynote lecture on recent research on Manitoba schools or classrooms, and a MERC meeting that will discuss next steps for the organization."
