The Curriculum

Student Senate Across America

Our curriculum has been used for over 20 years as part of homeschool programming in academies in St. Paul, Minnesota. We provide education for students on each aspect of the legislative process prior to them participating in the live sessions. We also provide training for facilitators or teachers so they can run a successful Student Senate Experience. 

 

The curriculum is delivered via an interactive learning management system (LMS). A combination of on-demand and in-community learning provides greater engagement and knowledge retention for students. 

 

The following chart shows the on-demand curriculum topics and the correlating in-person student-led sessions where the knowledge is applied. Keep scrolling to view our curriculum samples.

In-Platform Communication

Teachers and students in the same class will be able to message each other through our LMS. This is a great tool to help teachers connect with their students over the content and make group projects easy with student-to-student communication.

Student Leader Training

Student Senates Across America utilizes student leadership as a big part of the curriculum. Each of your student leaders will have a special course on their dashboard to help prepare them for leading a session, providing support to their fellow student senators, and direction on how to work with the teacher to facilitate the best experience.
