Teachers’ Law Institutes provide teachers with exceptional professional development for learning about the law and having a dialogue and exchange of ideas with speakers from the legal system. The Institutes are held on district-wide professional days and offer full-day programs. The Teachers’ Law Institutes have been developed by the Justice Education Society and generously sponsored by The Law Foundation of BC and the Vancouver Foundation.

The 2011 Institutes will take place at four locations in British Columbia. The sessions will cover Being an Active Citizen - a teaching resource that enhances present BC Social Studies curriculum on law, government and citizenship. The program educates students on their important role as citizens by providing them with knowledge and understanding of the structure and operation of Canada’s and BC’s political and justice systems. It also gives students tools and confidence to embrace active participation in the life of their communities. Being an Active Citizen is a sequential five-year program with 10 lessons per year for Social Studies grades 7-11. Learn more at BCCitizenship.ca
