Junior/Senior High School Lesson Plans
The Arlin M. Adams Center joins in effort to improve justice system education in our nation's schools.
The Adams Center held a three-day, residential summer institute, funded by the Foundation for the Advancement of an Independent Judiciary and the Rule of Law, for middle and senior high school educators on June 24-26, 2008. The institute enriched the teachers' understanding of the judicial branch of government, allowed them to consider instructional strategies for justice system education and helped them create units of study on the justice system that will be incorporated into their classes and meet the unique learning needs of a diverse learning community. This was the first effort by the Adams Center to contribute to the effort to improve justice system education in our nation's schools.
The teaching professionals who took part in the institute created lessons plans that they incorporated into their classes in the 2008-09 academic year. See the link below for PDFs of lesson plans created at the summer institute.
The Adams Center continues making contributions in support of our junior and senior social studies teachers by holding similar institutes annually and by providing sample units of study on the justice system and links to other relevant websites for social studies teachers and education students preparing for a career as social studies teachers.
