For more than 200 years the residents of The Nation’s Capital have fought to become equal citizens, and in that struggle lies many lessons about the development of American democracy and its continued evolution. As we explore American democracy, we will document our past, present and future so that we can teach not only what has been and what  is, but also what’s possible.

FEEDBACK 

 

Teach Democracy is not only a learning resource, it is an experiment in democracy itself. It needs to be responsive to students and faculty, and to do that we need your input. We want to learn from your classroom experiences and connect with each other to provide for curriculums that result in the best understanding  for students. As educators, we need your help to learn, to grow and to help provide students with an outstanding venue to learn about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
