We delve into the idea that it's our responsibility to reinforce the foundation of civic knowledge in students. By doing so, we empower them with the skills necessary for civic action and understanding civic life. This lays the groundwork for fostering respectful conversations and bridging differences as they grow into informed and engaged adults.
Our discussion also highlights the upcoming Freedoms Foundation Valley Forge 2024 seminars and workshops, scheduled to open applications on January 1, 2024. These events cover a range of topics, such as Freedom, Opportunity, and the History of Immigration; E Pluribus Unum: Rome and the Constitution; and the French and Indian War. Notably, all teachers applying to a Freedoms Foundation seminar have the opportunity to be eligible for scholarships.
Having had the privilege of presenting at an FFVF workshop last summer, I can attest to the incredible experience it offers. I encourage all educators to apply, as Jeff tirelessly works to provide top-quality professional development programs. These programs connect teachers with exceptional scholars and thinkers, making Freedoms Foundation seminars one of the premier professional development opportunities available. Don't miss the chance to be part of this enriching experience! Check it out at https://www.freedomsfoundation.org/teachers/
