Teacher Resources

Welcome to the VBA Rule of Law Teacher Resource site. The materials available at the links on this page have been created by educators for educators. These materials include pre-visitation ideas that can serve as the foundation for a one-day or multi-day lesson to prepare students for the lawyer’s visit. There is a suggested reading list to extend the Rule of Law Project beyond the limits of a one-day, one-discipline activity. Teachers and lawyers/judges will also find the visitation-day prompts and lesson plans helpful in facilitating a focused, interactive class sure to engage and educate the students about what it means to live in a nation of laws, not people. All of the materials are aligned to the Virginia Standards of Learning for Civics and Economics.

To access these materials, simply click on the link in the sidebar.

We urge teachers and lawyers/judges to review these materials and discuss them in their planning sessions. Remember, you are partners in this activity – plan together, teach together, and share the joy of a successful class together.
