Facilitating Understanding of Maryland StateAnnapolis 101 Government

One of the CDCE’s core strategic directives is to “facilitate understanding of state government." Annapolis 101 is a suite of resources and activities that can be used in curricular, co-curricular, and advocacy settings to educate about the Maryland General Assembly, legislative process and advocacy. The primary intended audience for these resources are high school students, college students, and advocacy organizations.
