Civics: Mandates and Supports

This day-long workshop will provide information, instructional strategies support, and work-time to middle and secondary teachers engaged in civics instruction.  Following introductory information about the state mandates (especially the 2019 middle level mandate), teachers will be introduced to a variety of strategies that are effective in the civics classroom and that are best practices for approaching current events and controversial issues in any social studies classroom.  Teachers will be given work-time throughout the day, so please bring curriculum materials and necessary technology to get the most from the workshop.  Minimum of 10 participants needed.
