Create space for meaningful civic dialogue—even around challenging topics. We will explore structured strategies for leading open, respectful discussions on complex and sometimes contentious issues connected to our natural rights and founding principles. Participants will analyze primary source documents on topics such as religious liberty, slavery, and citizenship, while modeling inquiry-based techniques that promote critical thinking and civil discourse. Teachers will engage with ready-to-use lesson plans grounded in constitutional principles and civic virtues, collaborate with colleagues, and leave with practical tools and resources they can immediately implement to support deep, meaningful classroom
