Street Law, Inc. is a national nonprofit that started as a pilot program teaching practical law through interactive lessons and has since evolved into a global civics education movement. Teachers are paired with a lawyer partner or partners who will serve as a resource throughout the school year, co-lead at least two activities throughout the school year in the classroom, and accompany the class on an educational field trip to a civic space such as a courthouse. At the upcoming training, attendees will:

• Learn directly from national leaders Cathy Ruffing and Lee Arbetman, who co-authored the 11th edition of the Street Law textbook.
• Network with other Street Law educators and lawyer volunteers.
• Receive professional development hours and $100 for full participation.

This session is designed for educators of grades 8-12 who teach subjects such as social studies, government, law, and civics. There are 40 spots available.
