SUMMARY:Federalism and Geography

As a valuable takeaway\, participants will have access to the Civic Literacy Curriculum – a free resource from the Center for American Civics – equipped with classroom-ready materials that can be implemented right away. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School | Federalism | Geography | Government and Civics \nConference Room\nJoshua Tree \nMeet the Presenters\nJeff Davis is one of the Program Directors of Civic Education at Arizona State University’s Center for American Civics.
