Attention all high school and middle school teachers. Get ready to engage your students in social studies! Join CRF and the California Civic Learning Initiative (CCLI) at a free professional learning mini-conference at Berkeley Law on July 29, 2023. CCLI is an initiative of Constitutional Rights Foundation, together with Lead Partners and Coalition Agencies, to improve and expand civic learning in California, with an emphasis on increasing access for all students to earn the California State Seal of Civic Engagement on their high school diplomas.

The conference will feature a keynote address and Supreme Court Review from Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of Berkeley Law and renowned constitutional scholar.

Participants will have the choice of selecting different sessions based on their interests. Sessions will include:

Understanding of the State Seal of Civic Engagement, including its purpose, eligibility requirements, and application process.
Practical strategies for engaging your students in meaningful civic learning through the use of civic engagement projects.
How to promote respectful and productive dialogue about current events and controversial issues in the classroom.
Using law-related lessons to engage students in learning about the judicial branch.
