Case Method Civics Project

The Westport Library*

Participate in a community Case Method conversation led by two Staples High School teachers.

The Westport Library

The Case Method Project began in 2015 under the auspices of Harvard Business School to bring case method teaching to US history, government and civics classrooms in high schools. The goal was to reverse the broad decline in civics education around our country by creating a more engaging and memorable learning experience for students. This community case discussion will give Westport adults the opportunity to enjoy the same classroom experience as Staples high school students.The conversation will be moderated by Suzanne Kammerman and Drew Coyne, two Staples teachers. Participants will read the Harvard case in advance and come prepared to discuss and debate it.Please register to receive the materials and participate.Community Partner: League of Women Voters of WestportSuzanne Kammerman has been a teacher at Staples High School since 2007 where she currently teaches A.P.
