What is DRSR?:
It is a series of lessons for elementary, middle, and high school levels that focus on citizenship education and traffic safety. Working with LRE, colorful and interactive lessons were developed.The lessons use interactive strategies and computer based learning to teach traffic safety while studying city, state and national government, the three branches of government, and the responsibilities of citizenship. Elementary lessons also use traffic safety content to teach language arts and math skills. Participants will receive lessons and relevant information that incorporates specific Texas legislative and judicial processes while encouraging TEKS development and TAKS preparation.
Lessons incorporate the latest Law-Related Education instructional strategies, as well as the opportunity to utilize judges and court support personnel as resource persons in classrooms. Resource persons can bring the lessons alive by providing real life or hypothetical examples, accurate descriptions of what the law requires, and serve as positive role models for students. Although social studies classes are the main focus, other disciplines such as language arts, math, and health can readily use the materials.
DRSR Materials Include:
• Lesson Plans for K-12
• Activity Sheets
• Class Sets of Manipulatives
• Online Computer Games
• City Government Simulation
• 2nd, 3rd, & 4th grade Do Nows
• Bilingual Materials
• Mock Trials
And much more…………
