Our goal is to promote and enhance
the instruction of constitutional law in the high school
curriculum.
We
provide textbooks, a teacher’s guide to our textbook, a conduit
to other sources of lessons, workshops
for teachers, a free occasional newsletter, curriculum units, and a
clearinghouse for lessons and
ideas.
We
have a NEW conlawed blog at
http://conlawed.blogspot.com and welcome your input on the topics of the day. Come
join us.
The CLEP newsletter is keyed to the
student textbook and will now be designed to supplement our
new blog. (The 2008-09 school year will be our SEVENTH YEAR of the
newletters!) These are real assets for teachers of Con Law and
Civics in high schools.
The
director of the project, Rich Kitchens, is an attorney and has
taught "Constitutional Law" and "Law and Society" at
Piedmont High School for many
years. His curriculum has
been shared and enjoyed at numerous conferences and
workshops and won awards from
Court TV. To see Rich Kitchens’
classroom, check out: http://www.edutopia.org/magazine/ed1article.php?id=Art_1706&issue=nov_06
Specifically, our
charge is to provide practical techniques for teaching in general,
and law-related material in particular, content knowledge in key
law-related subjects, and curriculum that enables you to integrate
law-related subjects into existing courses or fully implement
entirely new courses in Constitutional
Law.
Visit this site and explore the possibilities. Contact Rich
Kitchens for more information about the summer workshop or to see
the materials we make available.
Since
1998, Rich Kitchens has demonstrated "Teaching Civics as a Course in
Constitutional Law" at conferences and workshops to teachers and
administrators in Sacramento, San Diego, Oakland, Baltimore, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Monterey.
