American Renaissance: Deliberating a Plan

Saturday, August 25

8:30 am – 3:30 pm

In an election season, candidates each claim the best solutions to move the United States forward.

• Empower your students with deliberation skills.
"Deliberating civic issues—weighing opposing views, deciding difficult questions, accepting majority decisions while honoring dissent—is not natural behavior." DID

This workshop is jointly sponsored by the Constitutional Rights Foundation (CRF), the Arsalyn Program, and CALIS.  Participating teachers will have special access to follow-up support and student programs provided by CRF, Arsalyn and CALIS.

Teachers will receive hands-on training using free materials from Deliberating in a Democracy and engage in activities using other free online resources from CRF, Arsalyn, and CALIS.

Registration fee: $25 non-refundable

Parking, breakfast, and lunch will be hosted.
The workshop starts with breakfast set-up by 8:00 am.

Online registration is coming soon.
