One of the essential but sometimes overlooked components of civic education is providing students with opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to assume the role of citizen. We the People has been proven effective civic education programs by independent studies. We the People is available on three levels for upper elementary, middle school, and high school. The workshop will familiarize teachers with the components and process utilized by the program and provide the information necessary to implement it effectively in the classroom. It will also prepare teachers to enter their classes in the optional We the People competition/showcase should they choose to do so. A free copy of the We the People book will be provided to participants.
The workshop will be held on April 2, 2025 at the Busch Campus Student Center, Rutgers University, Piscataway, N.J. The workshop will run from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Sign-in begins at 8:30. A continental breakfast and lunch and a sample book will be provided. Please bring a laptop computer. There is no cost to attend. REGISTER HERE .
