SUMMARY:Scholar Exchange with the National Constitution Center
DESCRIPTION:My Advanced Government/Civics class had a scholar exchange with Sarah Harris of the National Constitution Center and Judge Karoline Mehalchick\, a recently appointed federal district court judge\, about the 14th Amendment. My students were challenged by questions about what citizenship is and what rights and responsibilities do citizens have. It was an informative and fun session. The students were still talking about the exchange after the NCC and the judge signed off.

DESCRIPTION:We began Civic Learning Week by reflecting on what it means to be a “good citizen” in school\, as we reviewed classroom agreements with our new trimester class groups. Through a gallery walk students used sticky notes to provide examples of five pillars of school citizenship: following school rules\, being respectful of school property\, displaying good character\, being respectful of other people and their property\, and giving back to the school community.

SUMMARY:Medals of Independence Painting Exhibit - John Trumbull’s Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:One of the most iconic images in the American memory is John Trumbull’s Declaration of Independence. The painting was commissioned by Congress in 1817 and today resides in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda\, along with other large-scale works depicting American historical events. \nTrumbull depicted forty-two of the fifty-six signers\, in addition to several others who participated in the debate but did not sign. Trumbull’s scene illustrates not the signing\, but the presentation of the proposed Declaration by the “Committee of Five” (John Adams\, Roger Sherman\, Robert R. Livingston\, Thomas Jefferson\, and Benjamin Franklin) to John Hancock\, President of the Continental Congress. \nLen Augsburger organized this exhibition for the Washington University Libraries.

SUMMARY:The Ballot is Stronger Than the Bullet: A Short History of Voting
DESCRIPTION:Winning the right to vote is a struggle that has been constant in American history. It is here that the power of the vote has reached a position of both symbolic and real power. For better or worse\, the people of representative democracies throughout the world express their views and participate in their government through the vote. \nJoin Professor Hamish Lutris of Capitol Community College as he discusses the concept of voting\, its establishment as the most visible political weapon in the arsenal of Democracy\, and the movements that have both expanded and resisted the expansion of that right over the years\, including feminism and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. \nThis program is pre-recorded. \nLearn more about the Connecticut Democracy Center’s Civic Learning Week programming at ctdemocracycenter.org/civic-learning-week.

SUMMARY:The State of Social Studies Education: Collaboratively Moving Forward
DESCRIPTION:National Council for Social Studies (NCSS) and Thinking Nation will host a special webinar that reviews a recent white paper published in Education Week and commissioned by Thinking Nation. The survey data gave statistics behind the anecdotes many of us know: 1. While Social Studies is deemed as critical for democracy\, it is not viewed as a priority in most school districts; 2. Professional Development does not currently effectively support social studies teachers; 3. Social Studies as a discipline is not effectively vertically aligned in most contexts. \nIn this program\, NCSS and Thinking Nation will discuss these findings\, along with other NCSS-supported research on K-12 student and educator experiences in social studies classrooms. We also are happy to have Dr. Bill Daggett of the Successful Practices Network join us for part of the webinar to provide a broader perspective about how social studies education can contribute to a broader goal of education reform. Our goal is to share how we can collaboratively work to better prioritize and resource social studies in all education contexts. This program will bring awareness of key solutions to strengthening social studies education to a diverse set of stakeholders in education. With 2024 being an election year and America’s 250th anniversary quickly approaching\, we must work together to utilize our discipline in order to preserve our constitutional democracy.\nWe hope that our conversation will kick off Civic Learning Week with exciting prospects about what the wider education community can do collectively. \nThis program makes an excellent “lunch and learn” for Central and Eastern Time participants\, and a great “mid-morning coffee break” for Pacific and Mountain Time participants!

SUMMARY:100% Democracy: The Case for Universal Voting
DESCRIPTION:Today’s headlines are filled with arguments over restrictions on the right to vote and attempts to expand it. Miles Rapoport\, formerly CT’s Secretary of State and E.J. Dionne\, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute\, advocate for making a commitment to a ‘100% Democracy’\, an election process where every citizen has the right to vote and full opportunities to do so—but also the duty to vote\, a requirement to participate in our national choices. \nJoin Rapoport and Dionne (who will be joining us virtually) for an in-person discussion about their new book\, 100% Democracy: The Case for Universal Voting. The program will be moderated by CT Secretary of the State\, Denise Merrill and kicks off Book Talks\, a new program series at Connecticut’s Old State House. \nThe U.S. lags behind other democracies\, with only 66.8% of eligible voters participating in the record-turnout election of 2020 while twenty-six countries around the world require participation in elections. Australia\, for instance\, has required citizens to cast a ballot since 1924 and had over 90% voter turnout in their last major election. Rapoport and Dionne ask: if Americans must pay taxes and serve on juries\, why not ask—or require—every American to vote? Is it time for the United States to take a major leap forward and recognize voting as both a fundamental civil right and a solemn civic duty? \nThis program is pre-recorded. \nLearn more about the Connecticut Democracy Center’s Civic Learning Week programming at ctdemocracycenter.org/civic-learning-week.
