The Arizona Foundation for Legal Services & Education will host the Western Region Project Citizen Summer Institute for 3 years. Beginning the second week of July, at Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona, this week-long training is for Project Citizen teachers in middle and high school grade levels, and of all levels of experience with the program. Selection is on a first come first served basis and the potential relevance of Project Citizen to your teaching situation. 40 teachers from Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington will be selected each year to learn how to implement the Project Citizen curriculum into their classrooms.

The institute offers a balance of content and pedagogy. Its rigorous program allows teachers to work with national and local scholars from a variety of disciplines, but it also offers the same interactive lesson plans and mentoring offered in the Project Citizen Academy. As a culminating activity, teachers showcase the process they have learned in front of judges, just like their students would do.

Participants of the Institute receive the following:

• Air transportation
• Lodging and meals
• Classroom set of textbooks
• Supplemental resource books and lesson material
• 47 Professional Development Hours

This Institute is provided at NO COST to participating teachers through the generosity of the Foundation and the Center for Civic Education, and is hosted by the Arizona Foundation for Legal Services & Education.
