6 Teacher Professional Development Programs We help middle and high school teachers bring important civic topics and teaching strategies into their classrooms by deepening their understanding of fundamental and current issues in government and law. From nationwide opportunities—like our Supreme Court Summer Institute for Teachers —to specialized district-wide trainings that meet local needs, Street Law helps teachers across the U.S. improve the way they teach social studies to the next generation. As an organization, we take special care to bring our teacher professional development opportunities to schools that serve students who lack opportunities to understand how to use their civic voices to empower themselves and their communities.
