Lesson Plans

One advantage of participating in the Teachers of Government program is that it allows teachers the opportunity to network with others in their field. During the two weeks, the program provides structured opportunities that promote sharing ideas and best practices with one another.

As a result of those experiences, past Teachers of Government participants have submitted lesson plans to be used by other teachers of government who may benefit from their ideas. Some of the lesson plans were generated as part of a requirement to receive credit for their participation in this program, while others wanted to share a lesson plan that they believed was exceptional.
