What does it truly look like to empower students as citizens? Justin Glodowski, a 14-year veteran teacher from Wisconsin, reveals practical strategies that transform students from passive learners into active civic participants.Justin's approach begins with a foundational belief: if we want students to become engaged citizens, we must first teach them how to discuss difficult topics productively. Drawing from his experience teaching AP Government to freshmen, he shares how establishing clear discussion norms creates a classroom environment where students can tackle controversial issues more effectively than many adults on social media.The magic happens when students take ownership of their learning. Through congressional simulations where students draft legislation on issues from corn mazes to taxation reform, they experience the complexity of governance firsthand. Justin's Socratic seminars—complete with peer evaluation scorecards—develop crucial skills for democratic participation while making abstract concepts tangible.Perhaps most valuable is Justin's framework for discussing controversial topics through the lens of constitutionality rather than personal opinion. By encouraging students to think like constitutional scholars rather than simply sharing feelings, he elevates classroom discourse and builds critical thinking skills essential for citizenship.Beyond specific activities, Justin emphasizes the importance of teacher collaboration and professional development. His podcast "Engage" exemplifies his commitment to sharing resources that make civics education interactive and meaningful. When asked what gives him hope, his answer is simple yet profound: students genuinely want to understand their world, and when given the opportunity, they demonstrate remarkable capacity for thoughtful civic dialogue.Ready to transform your approach to civics education?

Woodland High School AP Government students took civic engagement to the next level by organizing a successful Power Hour event, where local leaders discussed zoning laws and community concerns. Their efforts earned them recognition from the Sons of the American Revolution.

In this episode, our guest (an AP U.S. History teacher) and our host (an AP Government teacher) delve into the worthy American most likely missing from your U.S. history or government class. Orestes Brownson was a nineteenth-century political thinker who wrote about the American project through his unique lens as a post-Civil War American-Catholic. He was well known in his time but is often only featured in the footnotes for the Election of 1840, the Transcendental Movement, and the Emancipation Proclamation. Brownson's essays, though, belong in the classroom. They seek to answer with optimism and insightful reflection: what is this country all about? For what did our sons die in this great Civil War? Chapters: 4:20 Why read Brownson? 10:11 A religious and political wanderer 14:01 Arrives at the Catholic Church 17:00 Magnus opus: The American Republic 21:57 “Territorial democracy” 27:44 History as human experience 28:51 Territorial democracy and American Union 32:31 Missteps of democracy 36:54 Brownson's vision: “Freedom of each with advantage to the other” 37:41 Yet history repeats itself 41:47 America's role in the story of history 44:55 “Unwritten constitution” 49:36 The task of the modern teacher 54:24 One's development of ideas over time Links: The American Republic by Orestes Brownson “Democratic Principle” by Orestes Brownson Orestes Brownson Symposium hosted by the American Family Project “Catholic Lives: Orestes Brownson, the American Newman” on Controversies in Church History Featured opportunities: On Faith and Beauty in Churches talk by Joe Cardenas at The Heights School (February 1, 2025) Series for Heights Fathers: Accompanying Our Sons as They Grow in Understanding of Human Sexuality at The Heights School (Thursdays in February 2025) Parents' Conference: Freedom and Addiction at The Heights School (April 12, 2025) link coming soon Teaching Men's Conference at The Heights School (October 2025) link coming soon Also on the Forum: ChatGPT Holds These Truths to Be Self-Evident by Mark Grannis The Importance of Ugly History by Mark Grannis Keeping the Story in History by Mark Grannis Seeing History: On Using Images in the History Classroom by Kyle Blackmer Patriotism and Piety: Honoring Founders and Fathers featuring Matthew Mehan

When I was a senior in high school, our AP Government teacher chose not to give us a final exam for the end of the first semester. Instead, we would create our own portfolios. Our portfolios had to include what we had learned and what... The post Getting Started with Student Portfolio Projects appeared first on John Spencer.

At this week's Round Table, Emily, Erina, and Hannah spoke with Alison Ritz, an AP Government and History teacher in the Bronx. She has taught in the New York City Department of Education for over two decades, striving to connect the present to the past while centering civic engagement for high-school students.  As a former teenage activist, she approaches AP US Government and Politics, Participation in Government, and Economics from the lens of youth empowerment. Ms Ritz also has the honor of working with seniors to support the college-application process and postsecondary transition and serves as Faculty Advisor for the Riley's Way Bronx Council. We conversed at length about what students would LIKE to know about their teachers but are frequently afraid to ask. We also discussed the joys and challenges of being in the teaching profession, which varies depending on the state you live in. Furthermore, we discussed how Ms Ritz' own experiences got her into teaching and how exactly teaching keeps her inspired and motivated.

S4E6 Lovett students are encouraged to explore, question, and critically engage with a wide range of perspectives. Within our school walls, our teachers ensure students maintain an equitable and open-minded stance working to promote independent and critical thinking. The absence of a singular perspective in the classroom allows learners to form their own opinions, ultimately preparing them to become informed and responsible citizens who can actively participate in the diverse and ever-evolving global discourse. Kevin Randolph (Lovett's History Chair and a 43-year teaching veteran) and Dr. Alex Douglas (AP Economics; AP Government; Intro to the Old Testament) speak with Jessica Sant, Chief Engagement Officer of The Lovett School. This episode is sure to give parents insight into intellectual inquiry and student discovery in the classrooms of Lovett.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Sept. 28 at 5:55 a.m. CT: Video appears to show the American soldier who sprinted into North Korea across the heavily fortified border between the Koreas more than two months ago arriving back in the U.S. The White House said Wednesday that Pvt. Travis King's return was organized with the help of ally Sweden and rival China. North Korea said it would expel King earlier the same day. King appeared to walk off a plane in San Antonio, Texas, early Thursday. King ran into the North while on a civilian tour of a border village on July 18. He had served in South Korea. SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Several of Donald Trump's rivals stepped up their attacks against him in Wednesday's second Republican presidential debate. They were urgently trying to dent the former president's commanding primary lead during an event that often seemed like an undercard without him. The debate's tone was far removed from the campaign's overall tone. Trump has dominated the field with attacks on his rivals and democratic institutions as well as his grievances about the criminal indictments and civil cases targeting him and his businesses. The moderators did not ask about the indictments or why the people onstage were better qualified than Trump. CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — As his Republican rivals sparred onstage in California at their second primary debate, Donald Trump was in battleground Michigan Wednesday night working to win over blue-collar voters in the midst of an autoworkers' strike. Trump in his speech lambasted President Joe Biden and his push for electric cars a day after Biden joined striking workers on the picket line in Detroit. The dueling appearances had the feel of the opening salvo of the 2024 general election, which is increasingly looking like a rematch between Trump and Biden, even though voting won't begin until next year. BERLIN (AP) — Volkswagen says production is resuming after a problem with the German automaker's information technology network caused a severe disruption. Volkswagen said on Wednesday evening that the IT disruption caused production to halt at its four vehicle manufacturing plants in Germany — its Wolfsburg headquarters, Emden, Zwickau and Osnabrueck. It also affected some other facilities, including at subsidiary Audi. The company said Thursday morning that the IT infrastructure problems were resolved during the night and production was resuming, German news agency dpa reported. It said there were no indications of any external cause for the disruption. DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $925 million after no one beat the immense odds and won the giant prize. The winning numbers drawn Wednesday night were: 1, 7, 46, 47, 63 and red Powerball 7. With the latest bit of lottery losing, there now have been 30 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, dating back to July 19 when a player in California won $1.08 billion. That winless streak is due to the tough odds of winning the Powerball jackpot, at 1 in 292.2 million. Although the game highlights the $925 million prize, that is for a winner who is paid through an annuity over 30 years. Most winners choose the cash payout option. For the next drawing Saturday night, that will be an estimated $432 million. DETROIT (AP) — Hyundai and Kia are recalling nearly 3.4 million vehicles in the U.S. and telling owners to park them outside due to the risk of engine compartment fires. The recalls cover multiple models from the 2010 through 2019 model years including Hyundai's Santa Fe SUV and Kia's Sorrento SUV. Documents posted Wednesday by U.S. safety regulators say the anti-lock brake control module can leak fluid and cause an electrical short. That can touch off a fire while the vehicles are parked or being driven. Dealers will replace the anti-lock brake fuse at no cost to owners, but owners won't be notified by mail until November. In sports: History was made by Ronald Acuna Jr. in Atlanta, the Marlins pull closer in the NL standings, the Astros created some separation in the AL, Terry Francona was honored in Cleveland, and a massive trade in the NBA sends Damian Lillard to the Bucks.  On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Sept. 27 at 4 p.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is marching ahead with a bipartisan approach to prevent a government shutdown. But on the House side, Speaker Kevin McCarthy is back to square one. The Republican leader laid out his strategy Wednesday behind closed doors. He asked hard-right Republicans to do what they've said they'd never do, and pass their own temporary measure to keep the government open. A House test vote is set for Friday, one day before the shutdown deadline. Their plan would cut spending by 8% and toughen border security. The Senate bill would fund the government, adding $6 billion for Ukraine aid and $6 billion for U.S. disaster relief. NEW YORK (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey will address his Democratic colleagues on Thursday as calls grow for Menendez to resign over federal bribery charges. Schumer hasn't said that Menendez should step down, although more than half of the Democrats in the Senate have done so. Menendez pleaded not guilty Wednesday in New York to federal charges alleging he accepted bribes in exchange for exerting his political influence to secretly advance Egyptian interests and do favors for local businessmen. Menendez's wife and two businessmen named in the indictment also pleaded not guilty. Menendez was released on a $100,000 bond. His wife, Nadine, and the other co-defendants were also freed pending trial. WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says the American soldier who sprinted into North Korea across the heavily fortified border between the Koreas two months ago has been released into U.S. custody. Pvt. Travis King's release was secured with the help of ally Sweden and rival China. Earlier Wednesday, North Korea said it would expel Pvt. King. The announcement has surprised some observers who expected the North to drag out his detention in the hopes of squeezing concessions from Washington at a time of high tensions between the rivals. King's expulsion almost certainly does not end his troubles. His fate remains uncertain, having been declared AWOL by the U.S. government. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Lottery officials in Florida say the winner of the $1.6 billion Mega Millions jackpot from August has come forward to claim the prize. Under a new Florida law, the winner's name remains anonymous for 90 days. The winning ticket was sold at a Publix supermarket in Neptune Beach on the Atlantic Coast. In Florida, winners have 60 days to claim the lump sum amount or 180 days from the date of the drawing to take the full annuity, which is paid out in annual installments. Lottery officials did not say whether the winner chose to take the the lump sum or annuity. STOCKHOLM (AP) — A moose which was found wandering down the tracks of the Stockholm subway and causing havoc was shot dead by a wildlife ranger on Wednesday after the service on the southern part of a busy line had to be suspended. The moose somehow managed to enter the enclosure that surrounds the track on a part of the subway network where the stations are above ground. As many as seven stations had to close, disrupting the service. After failed efforts to catch it, the moose was shot and killed at about 3 p.m. after which the traffic slowly resumed. Damian Lillard is being traded by Portland to play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement. The deal ends a three-month saga surrounding Lillard's wish to be moved elsewhere with hopes of winning an NBA title and his 11-year run with the Trail Blazers. The seven-time All-Star goes from the Trail Blazers to the Bucks in a three-team deal that sends Jrue Holiday from the Bucks to Portland, Deandre Ayton from Phoenix to Portland and Jusuf Nurkic from the Blazers to the Suns. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because none of the involved teams had announced the agreement. NEW YORK (AP) — TV's late-night hosts planned to return to their regular evening sketches and monologues as the flow of topical humor is set to return after five silent months due to the just-ended Hollywood writers strike. “Real Time with Bill Maher” will be back on the air Friday. The hosts of NBC's “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” ABC's “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on CBS announced they'd also return, all by Monday. “Last Week Tonight” with John Oliver will return to the air Sunday. Comedy Central's “The Daily Show” will return Oct. 16. A NASA astronaut and two Russians are back on Earth after being stuck in space for just over a year. The trio landed in Kazakhstan on Wednesday, descending in a Soyuz capsule that was rushed up as a replacement. The extended mission means that NASA astronaut Frank Rubio now holds the record for longest spaceflight by an American. Rubio and his crewmates should have returned last spring from the International Space Station, but their flight ended up being doubled in length after their original capsule was hit by space junk and leaked all its coolant. The world record for a single spaceflight is 14 1/2 months, held by Russia. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Government test data shows new passenger vehicles in the U.S. are extremely safe, but roadway deaths are steadily rising. Some of the biggest increases are deaths of pedestrians and cyclists. That surge has coincided with a steep rise in sales of SUVs and pickup trucks. Experts say the height and boxy front ends of many of those vehicles create large blind spots. They also hit pedestrians higher in the body than sedans, meaning hits more often result in serious injury or death. U.S. safety ratings only consider the safety of people inside a vehicle. But a coalition of transportation safety groups wants the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin factoring the safety of those outside vehicles into its 5-star safety ratings. INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) — Hundreds of school systems around the country have adopted four-day weeks in recent years, mostly in rural and western parts of the U.S. Districts cite cost savings and advantages for teacher recruitment. Still, some experts question the effects on students who already missed out on significant learning during the pandemic. For parents, there is also the added complication, and cost, of arranging child care for that extra weekday. In Missouri, the number of districts routinely getting three-day weekends has more than doubled since the pandemic hit. Some lawmakers have pushed back, arguing students need more time with teachers. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

In this episode Mrs. J walks you through another of your required documents for AP Government, Federalist 78. In this essay from the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton argues for the powers of the judicial branch of the federal government. He says that the best way to keep the Supreme Court (and other federal courts) independent from the other branches is through the lifetime appointments of its judges. Additionally, Hamilton argues that the chief power the Supreme Court is the power of judicial review.

A teacher in Oregon asked students to write a “sexual fantasy” short story. A middle school in Utah made students eat “disgusting” bugs as part of a climate change assignment...in English class! A California school district approved an ethnic studies film course some describe as “hateful.” In Virginia, Fairfax County pulled an AP Government test question that used race to get students to identify liberals and conservatives. What is the purpose of pushing all this woke crap on our kids? Isn't the purpose of school to teach skills necessary to be a productive adult? The Rick Roberts Show is on NewsTalk 820 WBAP ...

Review of the civil liberties and rights portion of the final exam for AP Government

At this week's Round Table, Kenisha, Madeline, and Maya spoke with Paul Gabbey, a fantastic teacher of AP Government & Politics/MacroEconomics at Penfield High School in Rochester, NY for the last 28 years–a school that he himself graduated from. Mr Gabbey is the kind of teacher you wish everyone could have–creative, kind, and inspiring, registering thousands of students to vote; supporting many former students in getting involved in local, state, and federal politics; and hosting the biggest political party in Monroe County every four years to make Election Night memorable. We talked about how to teach politics in a productive way at the nexus of history and current events; the challenges of teaching in a time of hyper polarization AND of preparing students for the AP test WHILE making content relevant and relatable; and the power of an interdisciplinary approach in doing so. Mr Gabbey's key emphasis is on involvement- you can't sit on the sidelines and expect things to get done. He wants to help students to see that politics and government–and teaching!-- can be a noble profession and that making a difference is key. It's very evident how much of a difference Mr Gabbey has made on the lives of his students–and now on you.

Reno, 1993, a case that expanded upon the Baker precedent! Enjoy, everyone, and stay healthy!  Note: in an effort to keep episodes shorter and beat the AP exam season - both of which impact my classmates - I am putting a halt to inviting guests until I finish uploading all 15 required SCOTUS cases for the AP Government course. After that, though, I will continue having guests talk about past Supreme Court cases not included in the AP Government curriculum and current Court cases, such as Carson v. Makin, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, and more - and all in the heat of the waiting of the Court's opinions!

This is for my AP Government class. So I don't recommend watching it, but you can if you want.

Paul and I are in the same AP Government and Politics class. Today we were having a class discussion or, HOT TOPIC, as our teacher calls it. In the hot topic, a group of 3 or 4 students chooses a political issue that is relevant to today. Today's group choose climate change, and we discussed whose responsibility it is to administer legislation and regulations regarding climate change. Paul and I's opinions on the matter differ, and we posed each other with hypotheticals to try to get to know each other's perspective on how to move forward in the wake of scientific research, as well a public shift to unrest in the form of the global climate strike and a demand for action from activists like Greta Thunberg.

What do you do when you are called to change the world? In 1969, the answer for Mrs. Pamela Stanescu was, “I guess I’ll teach!” For 45 years, Mrs. Stanescu remained a constant in the halls of Warner Robins High School, teaching everything from English to AP Government to AP Art History. She was our Google before we had Google! In the span of 10 minutes, she can take you from Palladio’s architecture to the depths of Van Gogh, then onto poverty in Middle Georgia and finally wrapping up with the inspirational work of Vygotsky. Most of all, she would always address us as “Great and Glorious Human Beings!” and we believed her, because what she saw in us, we saw in her.
