A national award-winning statewide civics program created by the Connecticut Public Affairs Network (CPAN) and made possible in part through support from the Connecticut Council for the Social Studies and Connecticut State Department of Education.
Join us on Wednesday, May
17 as we kickoff the 2017-18 Connecticut's Kid Governor (CKG) SM program with a workshop for teachers and administrators at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain.
CKG staff and Social Studies Consultant Steve Armstrong will be on hand to provide an overview of the popular statewide civics program, share tips & tricks for success and highlight case studies of Connecticut schools that took their participation in CKG to the next level.
The 2017-18 CKG Kickoff Workshop is designed for both 5th grade teachers and administrators who are new to the program, as well as those who have previously participated. The workshop will take place from 5 p.m. - 7:15 p.m. in Rooms 123 and 126 in Social Sciences Hall on the CCSU campus (
