Constitution Camp

October 28-29, 2019

Civics, government, and social studies teachers are invited to attend Constitution Camp!  Learn in-depth content and teaching strategies for important concepts you’ll be teaching in your government or social studies classes.  Once you get a grasp on the content, you can bring it to your students using two different authentic assessments strategies: simulated legislative hearings and a moot court.

This year’s topic is the Separation of Powers.  Attendees can expect to:

• Hear from content experts
• Get classroom-ready lessons, techniques, and resources
• Introduction to OCLRE programs such as Moot Court and We the People

Intro to Middle School Mock Trial

Attendees will learn mock trial basics and strategies for implementing a literature-based legal case, such as methods for teaching a book alongside a case file. As with all OCLRE professional development meetings, teachers/advisors will walk away with resources and advice to apply in the classroom.
