The JMLP is a program of the Center for Civic Education that provides professional development to teachers of high-need elementary, middle, and high school students nationwide based on the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/civiced.org\/wtp-the-program\">We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution<\/a> program. The professional development program is designed to improve teachers\u2019 civics content knowledge and cultivate their pedagogic skills in order to enhance students\u2019 achievement in attaining state standards in civics and government. The Georgetown University research team studies the effectiveness of the professional development program in preparing teachers to implement the We the People curriculum as well as students\u2019 acquisition of civic knowledge, dispositions, and skills as a result of taking a JMLP civics class.<\/p>\n<p>Maria Gallo demonstrated instructional pedagogies that are effective in providing civic education and how they can be used successfully in classrooms with high-need students. Lacking access to high-quality professional development, teachers of high-need students tend to rely heavily on lecture as a pedagogy. Dr. Owen, Jenny Lee, and Katie Hartzell presented findings demonstrating the effectiveness of the JMLP in preparing teachers of high-need students to incorporate active learning approaches into their classroom, including the simulated congressional hearings that are the signature pedagogy of the We the People curriculum. In addition, the findings consistently show that JMLP teachers gained substantial content knowledge as a result of the program.\u00a0 Further, the civic literacy of students in JMLP classes increased significantly. Teachers\u2019 content knowledge was highly correlated with students\u2019 civic knowledge.\u00a0 The more teachers knew about founding principles, the U.S. Constitution, government institutions, and political practices, the greater their success in conveying civics material to their students.<\/p>\n<p>Research on the JMLP can be found\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/jmlpresearch.org\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Diana Owen and students, Katie Hartzell and Jenny Lee, led a workshop at the&#x00a0;Western Political Science Association conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":287,"featured_media":1890,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"gu_featured_image_display":false,"footnotes":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[6],"class_list":["post-16","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-story","tag-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CCT Research Team Holds Workshop - Master&#039;s in Communication, Culture &amp;
