CIVICS ACADEMY: FOUNDATIONS OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND EFFECTIVE CIVICS INSTRUCTION

Complete Attendance not available before workshop starts.

By participating in this workshop, attendees will build a factual foundation for the
teaching of civics through the close study of primary sources, focusing on the
fundamental moral, political, entrepreneurial, and intellectual pillars of the American
experiment in self-government. Participants will analyze the founding documents of the
United States and the history, traditions, and features of civic engagement that define
our national heritage. By mastering strategies for civil discourse, media literacy, and
simulations of governmental processes, educators will depart equipped with the
professional tools to lead classroom and campus instruction that fosters a commitment
to and an appreciation of the United States and its exceptional form of government.
Beyond professional enrichment, attending this session ensures your campus remains
fully compliant with the Texas Legislature’s mandates for professional development.
Texas Senate Bill 3 (SB-3) requires that each school district and open-enrollment
charter school ensures every campus has at least one teacher and one principal who
has attended an official civics training program. Completion of this program ensures that
your leadership team is fully prepared to implement the frameworks for the teaching of
civics as explicitly required by state law.
