September 16, 2022, All Day
Location: Your Classroom
On Constitution Day 2022, Street Law will celebrate by hosting a nationwide Rule of Law for All Teach-In.
Teachers, please join us in increasing understanding of rule of law, emphasizing its importance, and exploring how all people can have a positive impact on creating a rule of law culture.
What is a Teach-In?
Teach-ins are focused forums on complicated, often political topics, with implications for the present day. They are practical, participatory, and focused on action. This event will be the same, with adaptable suggestions for teachers and students to implement their own schoolwide or class teach-in event.
Ways to Participate
- Teach one of Street Law’s new Rule of Law for All lessons to your class on Friday, September 16. Then, tell us how it went via social media.
