Professional learning from DPI, partners, CESAs, and Civics Fellows will be listed here when available.
Webinar Recording: Introduction to the Wisconsin Civics Project
On October 23, 2023, DPI Social Studies consultant Kris McDaniel held a webinar introducing the Wisconsin Civics Project. The work began with a vision from State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly, and ended with the release of three documents on October 17, 2023: a K-5 Social Studies/Civics Suggested Scope & Sequence, a 6-8 Social Studies/Civics Suggested Scope & Sequence, and a High School Suggested Course in Civics or Government. This webinar introduces the work, outlines the initiative, provides a brief overview of the state of civics education in the state and country, summarizes each of the three documents, and outlines future webinars and plans for implementation support statewide.
