We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution is a national program created to strengthen civics education. With three levels of text, the curriculum is a flexible and rigorous course on the US Constitution. For those who choose, the course can end each year with a state level mock congressional hearing event that requires students to formulate, analyze, and defend their positions on six constitutional law topics before a panel of volunteer lawyers and judges. The upcoming training will provide an overview of the program and introduce teachers to the powerful pedagogy of the mock congressional hearing. Attendees will:

• Learn from scholars Dr. Lester Brooks and Dr. Francene Engel and bolster content knowledge.
• Network with mentor We the People teachers and fellow middle and high school teachers.
• Receive professional development hours and $100 for full participation.

This session is designed for New Hampshire and Vermont middle and high school teachers of social studies, government, law, and civics. There are 30 spots available.
