The League of Women Voters of Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester will host a “Social Studies and Civic Learning Round Table” on Wednesday, April 25 from 6 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. at the Center School.

A panel of K-12 teachers from the Old Rochester School District will share classroom practices and lessons that promote social studies and civic learning.

The teachers will show how they use technology, make connections with young people from other countries and cultures, engage students with debate and counterargument, as well as teach the history of Massachusetts and the democratic process.

A question and answer session will follow the presentation. Refreshments will be served and childcare provided.
