Faculty & Staff Resources

These resources suggest a number of possibilities - from information to activities to assignments - for how to incorporate civic and democratic engagement in your course or program. Take time to explore!

Promoting Democracy Teaching Series offers programs and resources designed to help instructors across academic disciplines harness the momentum of each election season to promote civic learning and democratic engagement while improving their teaching practice. A collaborative partnership between Ginsberg Center and Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, Promoting Democracy Teaching Series is offered during U.S. presidential and midterm election cycles.

We help prepare undergraduate, graduate, and professional students at U-M for community-engaged learning in both curricular and co-curricular settings. Our resources and interactive sessions prepare students across U-M's 19 schools and colleges to engage in a wide range of community-based contexts and types of projects. Our student workshops and resource materials are designed to complement your own pedagogical commitment to preparing students for engagement, and we can consult with you on how to connect our sessions to your own instruction.
