Democracy in Action: Teaching about the 2024 Election & Educating for Civic Participation

As the United States enters the 2024 election season, join us for a series of online webinars and workshops that examine the health of democracy, voting and elections, and the pivotal influence of young people’s civic participation. Educators will explore 6^th-12^th grade appropriate lessons, activities, blogs, and webinars to help educate students about the importance of participation in our democracy during an election season and beyond. Participants will leave the learning series with classroom resources and teaching ideas necessary to create lesson plans to teach the 2024 election.
