CIVICS EDUCATION
The Oregon Student Mock Election (OSME) is an exciting experience‐based educational program that involves students in the electoral process and demonstrates the importance of voting.
The Harvard Business School Case Method Project
LWVOR sent the largest state delegation of Social Studies teachers, pre-COVID! We continue to urge participation. Please contact us if you have Oregon questions.
This initiative formed to achieve two goals:
-
Bring case method teaching to high schools and colleges
-
Use this methodology to deepen students’ understanding of American democracy
