The Civics Connection
The Civics Connection is a partnership between the Lou Frey Institute of Politics and Government and the United States Association of Former Members of Congress. With support from the U. S. Department of Education, the partnership seeks to engage former members of Congress as teachers of the next generation of citizens, passing on accumulated civic skills and wisdom. Former members of Congress will help students understand Congress, to appreciate the issues that it must address, and to develop the skills to be able to influence public policy outcomes in their communities, states, and the nation.
2009-2010 Civics Connection Webcasts
Six live webcasts will be offered the fall of 2009 and spring of 2010. Teachers can register their classes to participate below. These webcasts are appropriate for any social studies class, although courses in American government and American history will derive the most benefit. Student service clubs and those participating in leadership programs are also strongly encouraged to take part in these webcasts.
The webcasts will be archived following the conclusion of the events.
