Abstract
Elections at all levels of government offer an excellent context for enhancing students' political learning and serve as opportunities to foster not only political knowledge but also civic skills and attitudes. This reflection piece offers examples of how the author has utilized recent primary contests as springboards for such instruction—both inside and outside the classroom. With the 2016 general election looming on the horizon, the article promises to offer ideas to educators who wish to integrate evidence-based pedagogical techniques into their coursework and make the most of the election as a "teachable moment."
