Teaching the U.S. Constitution and Civic Ideals: Why Voting Matters in Every Election, Part 2

In every election, more than just candidates are on the ballot—our nation’s core civic ideals, as enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, are as well. Voting is a powerful expression of these ideals, shaping the future of our democracy. 

This webinar will explore how to effectively teach students the importance of voting by connecting it to the Constitution and the principles that underpin our civic education. Join the AFT, Share My Lesson, the Albert Shanker Institute, and the National Constitution Center, as we discuss the most influential strategies for educating students about voting, civic responsibility, and how to navigate the complexities of the electoral process as the election approaches, including how to address an “October surprise.”
