Teaching the Hard Stuff in the 2024 Elections
Tuesday, September 24· 6:30-8 p.m.
Rooms 005 and 006, Hagedorn Hall South Campus
Elections should be the feast of democracy instead of its junk food. This session will help upper elementary and middle school teachers address crucial –and sometimes challenging – election year topics, including: assessing the reliability of sources; engaging in civil discourse about the candidates and issues; and assessing the process of electing a president. All of these topics matter before – and after – Election Day in our classrooms and our democracy. For teachers of Grades 4-8.
Presenter: ANDREA LIBRESCO
