<p>This month, BRI offers professional development sessions in Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. The sessions cover topics such as civil discourse and elections, exploring government foundations and pedagogical strategies, and a special BRI “civics summit.”</p>

<p>BRI’s professional development sessions highlight the organization’s resources that cover topics including the Gilded Age and the Executive Branch.
