Capitol Hill Days Is a Wrap!
Capitol Hill Days 2021 wrapped up earlier this week, and we’re excited to report that this year’s all-digital event was a huge success! Over 200 activists took part in several fascinating and inspiring panel discussions and advocacy training last week and weekend. On Monday, they met with 91 members of Congress to advocate for the Global HER Act and increased investments in international family planning. Check out our website to see some other noteworthy stats from this year’s event!

All events are part of our Earth Day Passport Challenge. To participate in the Passport Challenge, join us for three or more events. You’ll receive a digital “passport” that we’ll stamp after each event you attend. Three or more stamps entitles you to a Population Connection volunteer t-shirt or totebag!

PopEd’s Spring Theme: Developing and Using Models in the K-12 Classroom
For the next few months, PopEd will be diving deep into the creation and application of models in the K-12 classroom. The practice of developing and using models plays a prominent role in the Next Generation Science standards, running throughout the K-12 progression. It’s also useful in mathematics and social studies classrooms. Regardless of the subject area focus, modeling is an effective strategy with big-time learning potential.
Go to PopEd’s website to learn more and to see the population-related resources PopEd has available for teachers to incorporate modeling into their own classrooms.
