Texas Law Related Education - From Colonies to a Nation: the Quest for Self-government
Join Law-Related Education as we celebrate America 250. This institute focuses on the development of colonial self-government by exploring the importance of religion, documents, such as the Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation, and traditions, with strategies that increase student engagement.
Join us for an engaging and enlightening professional development opportunity designed to empower educators in exploring the crucial historical transition from colonies to the birth of a new nation. Content is explored with the aid of a scholar, and strategy implementation will be aided by facilitators with classroom experience. Our workshop aims to equip teachers with a deeper understanding of the events, ideas, and societal shifts that put the colonies on a path to becoming an independent nation.
Target Audience: 5th grade, 8th grade, and high school US History and Government teachers.
