New Jersey statute has long required that civics, economics and New Jersey history be included in the two years of United States History mandated for high school. In 2021, the Laura Wooten Law directed the New Jersey Center for Civic Education to provide resources and professional development to help New Jersey high school teachers integrate civics, economics and New Jersey into their United States History courses. The New Jersey Center is offering a free, all-day workshop to demonstrate resources and teaching strategies that will motivate students to become informed and active citizens.
The workshop will be held in Room 174 of the Busch Campus Student Center, Rutgers University from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided, along with some sample materials. Directions and parking information will be provided via email approximately one week before the workshop. A confirmation message should appear after you finish submitting your registration. Please print if needed for your records. This workshop is limited to 48 participants.
