Marion Broglie, a teacher at Lynnhaven Middle School, and Andrea Stover, a government teacher at Ocean Lakes High School, will travel to Washington, DC this June to attend the prestigious Supreme Court Summer Institute.

After a highly competitive application process, 60 teachers were selected to participate this year. The Institute, open to teachers in the field of law-related and civic education, is co-sponsored by Street Law, Inc. and the Supreme Court Historical Society.

The Institute offers teachers the opportunity to study recent Supreme Court Cases in detail and learn innovative teaching methodology for conveying this information to students. Well-known Supreme Court lawyers, reporters, scholars and educators will be among the speakers and instructors for the Institute.

Upon returning home, teachers will be available to present workshops on the U.S. Supreme Court, and to meet with media to discuss how the new skills and information will apply in their classrooms. Street Law, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC which provides practical, participatory education about law, democracy and human rights.
