Celebrate Civics with Pups of Liberty: The Dog-claration of Independence

Understanding our history is essential to shaping the future.

The Declaration of Independence, one of our nation’s founding principles, was established in 1776. It is essential for students to learn not only what happened but also why it happened.

During National Civics Learning Week, we’re here to help you teach the Declaration of Independence to your students in a way that’s fun, entertaining, and easy to implement.

Join us for a free professional development session featuring Pups of Liberty: The Dog-claration of Independence, a 45-Minute Lesson designed to introduce elementary students to the Revolutionary War and America’s founding principles through an engaging, animated story.

Led by Rob Sanchez, a former social studies teacher with over two decades of experience and izzit.org’s Civics and Social Studies Outreach Specialist, this session will provide:

• A professional development certificate upon request.

• Strategies for using video, discussion guides, and activities to reinforce key ideas.

• A time-saving, grab-and-go, classroom-ready lesson that simplifies complex civics concepts for young learners.

• Practical tips and a different approach to encourage deeper learning and student engagement.

We’ll wrap up with a Q&A session so you can get the support you need to make civics education meaningful in your classroom.

This free professional development session will give you the tools to help students understand our nation’s history and become passionate about civics.
