Ben’s Guide (GPO) |
http://bensguide.gpo.gov/index.html |
|
| |
Ben’s Guide provides information and interactive activities specifically tailored for educators, parents, and K-12 students. These resources can help teach about our government and how it works. The can also teach about the primary source materials on GPO Access (the Government Printing Offices free online service of official Government information from all three branches of the U.S. Government), and how citizens can use GPO Access in carrying out their civic responsibilities. And, just as GPO Access provides locator services to U.S. Government sites, Ben’s Guide provides a similar service to U.S. Government websites developed for kids. The site index provides, in one convenient place, a link to all the pages of Ben’s Guide. |

Invite a Resource Person to your Classroom - Inviting a resource person to your classroom can not only provide valued assistance, but will also give your students a chance to interact with and learn from a local government official or community member. Exposure to resource people can propel young people to develop deeper connections with their government and community, as well as consider public servicer as a viable career option. The Consortium can assist you in arranging such a visit, or arrange an MPA student to teach a lesson about local government to your students. Contact Kelley O’Brien at Obrien@sog.unc.edu for more information or assistance.
