The Center for Civic Education is conducting two webinars this summer for teachers seeking advice on how to teach We the People and other civics and government content in our new and challenging world of social distancing and blended or online learning in the 2020–21 school year. Our first webinar, featuring teacher Amanda Kropp, was a tremendous success. A recording is available below. Please register for our next webinar on August 5!
