About This Webinar

Turn your classroom into the Supreme Court with Supreme Decision, the newest product type from iCivics, that allows you to bring civics to life through in-person, media-rich, collaborative experiences. Join us for an in-depth look at how you can engage your students in a dynamic experience where they take on the role of a Petitioner, Respondent, or Supreme Court Justice to decide fictional cases.

We will discuss how, as an educator, you can make the most of this tool to practice the art of civil discourse, facilitate deep, whole-class engagement, and make real-world connections with a landmark court case.

This free, for-credit webinar is just one of many running as part of Share My Lesson's Summer of Learning series. Register now to watch them live or later on demand.

SCOTUS simulation
This webinar was very helpful. I enjoyed the overview of the simulation. Having all of the infomation in one place provides the teacher more time to interact with the students.
