Are you ready for elections season?

Dear educators,

Teaching about elections provides the perfect opportunity to empower students at all levels to get engaged in civic activity. It's never too soon to get ready to vote!

As educators, you are tasked with many responsibilities. We have made it easier by curating a few trusted resources to help you tackle this one with confidence!

WisconsinVote.org has local, state and national election resources for students of all ages.

  • Explore critical questions about gerrymandering, partisanship and more with the PBSNewsHour collection #MonitoringTheMidterms.
  • Dig into the political process with entertaining and informative videos from Crash Course.
Thank you for helping to inform and educate future voters. Your work matters!
