ASU’s Center for American Civics hosts workshops for educators to learn how to teach American civics in various contexts, class subjects, and grade levels with ready-made, engaging, and rich with interactive forms of learning. These workshops have been made possible by a generous donation to the Center from a private donor who cares about the quality of civic education in Arizona and wants to support our state’s excellent teachers. So, what can you expect if you attend one of these workshops?

Jeff attended Arizona State University, majoring in Secondary Education for Social Studies, later adding a Master’s degree in Secondary Education from Northern Arizona University in 2007. While at ASU, he returned to his alma mater, Mountain View High School in Mesa, to be a student teacher and learn from someone he considered the best, his AP US Government teacher from high school. After that, he was hired to teach at Mountain View and taught various Social Studies subjects over 17 years, including US Government, AP European History, AP Comparative Government, and Economics.

Hello! Welcome! We are excited to share the work we have been doing under the direction of the Center for American Civics at Arizona State University with funding from the GEER Grant. This work is done by teachers for teachers because we believe that teachers are the experts and can help us in our goal to elevate civic education in our state.
