#CivicsInTheMiddle Webinar- Civics in Real Life

Some of the most difficult topics for educators to address in the classroom are current events. How do we approach current events in a way that connects to our content while also allowing opportunities for both discussion and engagement? This webinar will share virtual resources that can be used to address current events from a civics lens. The Lou Frey Institute will discuss its Civics in Real Life series, a weekly series which uses civics concepts to explore current events in a one page, student friendly, image rich text. This includes hyperlinks to related content and a closing activity that encourages reflection and engagement. The webinar session will discuss ways in which this resource can be integrated into both face to face and virtual instruction while also discussing the use of the free Civics360 content platform as a means of building foundational knowledge through a virtual resource.

2 PD credits will be issued for viewing the webinar live or in a recording and for completing an application activity. To earn PD credit, IL educators must register through the DuPage ROE at https://register.dupageroe.org/Public/Courses.aspx?CourseCategory=Educator%27s%20Workshops
