"If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow."
John Dewey (1850-1952)

our courts -- 21st century civics

Our Courts is "a web-based education project designed to teach students civics and inspire them to be active participants in our democracy."
"Our Courts is the vision of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who is concerned that civics teachers need better materials and support."  Through interactive games, students debate landmark Supreme Court cases, work for a Supreme Court justice, and interact with clients at a law firm. Our Courts includes online games that can be played in one class period and are accompanied lots of teacher resources!
In the classroom:
-Have students work through an interactive game and then use lesson plans to reinforce the learning.
