Street Law / Newsroom / Interested in Teaching Street Law at a Community College?

Join like-minded faculty and learn about the Street Law curriculum, the elements of the course, best practices in civic education instruction, and how Street Law can impact your community college.
Street Law, Inc.—in collaboration with Howard Community College and McGraw-Hill Higher Education—has designed a law-based civics course for community colleges that is being piloted at several community colleges during the 2011–2012 academic year.
This fall—October 27–28, 2011—Street Law is conducting a faculty development seminar in Chicago for community college faculty who are teaching Street Law this academic year OR seriously considering adding Street Law to their community college curriculum.
The seminar will be co-facilitated by Lee Arbetman, author of Street Law’s new community college textbook, Understanding Law and Legal Issues (McGraw Hill, 2011), and Professor Patrick O’Guinn, director of the criminal justice program at Maryland’s Howard Community College.
Faculty most likely to be interested in teaching this new course are professors of sociology, political science, criminal justice, and paralegal training. Faculty should have an interest in legal issues but need not be lawyers.
If you teach at one of the seven City Colleges of Chicago, your registration fee is waived thanks to a grant from the McCormick Foundation.
Are you an attorney interested in teaching Street Law in a community college? If you would like to explore the possibility of starting and teaching a Street Law course at a nearby community college, Street Law can help! Please contact Lee Arbetman for more information.
