The Harvard Case Method Program brings case method teaching to high schools to deepen students’ understanding of American democracy. \nBased on the highly successful experience of Harvard Business School and others that use case-based teaching\, Harvard’s program is currently being used by New Canaan High School teachers across a range of subjects in history and civics. Cases are painstakingly written by Harvard to show students how to think objectively and critically\, and thereby reverse the decline in civics education and civic engagement in the United States. \nThis event will occur at the museum on Wednesday\, October 6th from 7:00-8:30pm. The doors will open at 6:30. We welcome you to join us for this important discussion.
