About

C-SPAN Classroom Deliberations is maintained by C-SPAN Classroom Teacher Senior Fellows. The C-SPAN Senior Fellowship is available to educators who have previously participated in C-SPAN's Summer Fellowship Program. The aim of the program is to link expert Social Studies teachers, who are highly familiar with C-SPAN’s programming and resources, and have them develop innovative teaching materials for other teachers to integrate into their classrooms.

C-SPAN Classroom Deliberations provides teachers and students with a carefully selected set of video clips and newspaper articles that concisely present the leading positions related to current issues before Congress.

All lesson plans and handouts are provided as both Google Docs and PDF's so you can choose the file type that works for you.

Please contact C-SPAN's Education department at educate@c-span.org with your questions, comments, and feedback.
