“Keeping the Spirit of Democracy Alive Across the Nation” is the theme of this year’s American Lawyers Alliance (ALA) Law-Related Education (LRE)Teacher of the Year Awards. For more than 50 years, ALA has recognized the vital role that teachers play in civics education, including furthering students’ understanding of the role of the courts, law enforcement agencies, and the legal profession, and helping students to recognize their responsibilities as well as their rights. One middle school teacher and two high school teachers will be chosen as the ALA LRE 2017 Teachers of the Year. Each winner will receive a $1,500 cash award at the ALA Annual Meeting in New York City in August 2017.
“Understanding and Supporting Student-led Activism” is a free, self-paced online course focused on understanding students’ social justice motivations and helping young people engage in civic improvement activities.
