Happy Voter Education Week! October is an exciting time to bring out spooky decorations, get registered to vote, and prepare for midterm elections. Also, huge props to our Teacher Network for taking time to share your experiences in the teacher survey last month. We look forward to evaluating and sharing our findings in the near future.
EDUCATOR RESOURCES
Activity: Voting Matters – Students are introduced to a brief history of voting rights in the U.S. in order to explore barriers that people face with voting such as inability to access polls and lack of representation on the ballot. They’re also encouraged to use their voice and register to vote.
