NOTE: We will be utilizing Canvas as our learning management system to help guide your learning through the institute. Participants will work at their own pace on portions of the institute, learn from consultants in live sessions, and demonstrate their learning through a variety of activities.
June11, 2024 Participants should plan to be available for Live Zoom Sessions from 9:00-11:00 a.m. and 1:30-3:30 p.m. on both days
Kids need to understand civics too! Join us as we explore hands-on activities and children’s literature that will help teachers lay a foundation for teaching responsible citizenship and celebrating America’s beliefs and principles. The institute will provide resources to address:
- Characteristics of good citizens
- Community Helpers
- Symbols, customs, and celebrations that represent America’s identity
These concepts are explored through guided and shared reading/writing opportunities appropriate for kindergarten through 3rd grade students. To support the teaching of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) a variety of rich materials such as historical children’s books, primary sources, poems, songs, and biographies are part of this professional learning. Explore lessons and strategies that support student success and enrich existing curriculum. Participants receive access to all materials upon completion of the course.
