About This Lesson
In both the House of Representatives and the Senate, leadership positions are elected by each chamber and by the individual political parties. Leaders in these positions perform various roles in the legislative process and in their political party. This lesson explores the significance of these positions and focuses on the major leadership positions in the majority and minority parties. Students will learn about these positions, research the current leaders and provide videos examples of how they fulfill the responsibilities of the position. This lesson works best with classes with one-to-one devices or can be adapted to a flipped classroom. Teachers can access this free resource by signing up or logging into C-SPAN Classroom.
