5th Annual Civic Learning Conference:
“Inspiring Student Voices”
Encouraging Arizona’s Students to Add Their Voices to Our Democracy
Join the Arizona Department of Education, Higher Education faculty, Arizona K-12 educators, representatives from Arizona Civic Engagement Schools, and Adult Education Program staff as they discuss the importance of civic education.
Keynote Speaker
At 13, Mary Beth Tinker took a controversial stand by wearing a black armband to her Iowa school in response to the Vietnam War. When school officials suspended her, she took her free speech case all the way to the Supreme Court and won. Today, Tinker urges young people to become agents of positive change in their schools and in their communities.
