Teaching in Realtime: How Well Does the American Federal System Respond to Public Health Crises?

How a country responds to a national crisis reveals much about its people and government. American responses to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 provide just such a window revealing issues of federalism, separation of powers, and civil liberties.
This webinar series, "Teaching in Realtime: How Well Does the American Federal System Respond to Public Health Crises?" was presented by Stephen Schechter, professor emeritus at Russell Sage College, and Thomas Vontz, professor and director of the Center for Social Studies Education at Kansas State University in June and July 2020.
Kansas State University, the Johnson County First Amendment Foundation, and the Center for Civic Education sponsored this series.

About

CCE LogoThe Center for Civic Education is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating an informed and thoughtful citizenry committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy. We do this primarily through our flagship programs, We the People and Project Citizen, but we also provide high-quality, inquiry-driven curricular programs that bring civic learning to life. The Center additionally equips educators with professional learning that builds confidence and capacity to teach civics with depth and relevance, unlocks students’ civic agency by creating opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and share their voices through simulated hearings and other public forums. These initiatives build a national community committed to strengthening civic understanding and participation for all and root everything in decades of research and evidence. Learn more.
