Learn about civics, government, and the highly acclaimed high school
We the People program at a professional development program
offered by Classroom Law Project.
Who: High school teachers. This Institute is
for newcomers as well as veteran civics educators. Newcomers
will gain substance as well as strategies, and veterans will
add depth and the tools to deliver it.
What: Daily breakouts,
lectures, and discussion groups. Lectures led by popular institute
returnee, The Honorable Susan Leeson, formerly on Oregon’s
Supreme Count, whose activities include co-authoring the revised
high school We the People: The Citizen & The Constitution text. Discussion groups led by experienced mentor-teachers. Two
tracks: one for teachers getting started in the We the People
curriculum, and another for veteran WTP teachers.
Summer Institute Participants have said:

Summer Institute was unlike any class that I had ever taken
before … The speakers were wonderful, the ac-tivities
were engaging and the people who participated wereawesome
to get to know and truly learn from …"
"Classroom
Law Project creates a wonderful opportunity for any teacher
who teaches U.S. history or civics. Upon completion of the
course, teachers leave with grade-levelappropriate curriculum,
and easy to implement lesson plans. These provide teachers
the tools needed to develop a strong unit in the study of
the U.S. Constitution."
