A major new initiative of the Alliance for Representative Democracy is a professional training seminar for educators. The 150 participants included teams of two master teachers and a civic education coordinator from each state. During the seminar they learned about representative democracy from scholars and experts in the field. The participants also received training on all of the products of the Representative Democracy in America project. These educators will now provide training and materials to 100 of their peers in their own states. As a result, approximately 5,200 teachers will be better prepared to bring the study of our legislative institutions to nearly 380,000 students each year.
Objectives of the RDA Professional Development Initiative
- To train coordinators and master teachers in the curricular materials produced as part of the Representative Democracy in America project
- To assist state teams in developing action plans for state and local workshops, designed to enable teachers to use RDA materials in their classrooms
This Web page is designed to support the presentations made at the 2008 Professional Development Leadership Seminar. Each of the sessions was videotaped, and an edited video of the major speakers' presentations will be provided on these sessions. We will also post written remarks and resource materials as they are available.
