Landmark Court Cases: Religion in Schools

Join the National Constitution Center and Street Law for a full-day professional development workshop exploring Supreme Court cases involving the First Amendment’s Free Exercise and Establishment clauses and public schools. Using the Center’s nonpartisan Educational Framework and Street Law’s case study and inquiry activities, participants will explore landmark Supreme Court cases to better understand the Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment in schools over time. Participants will also hear from a constitutional scholar and leave the workshop with strategies to confidently engage in civil dialogue about religion’s role in public schools today. Location: Trust for the National Mall, Washington, D.C. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided (dietary restrictions will be accommodated).
