Classroom Exchanges connect middle and high school students across the United States for virtual discussions about the Constitution. These sessions are moderated by National Constitution Center scholars, federal judges, and master teachers, but led by student voice. Participating teachers receive lesson plans on the content of the discussion and on civil dialogue techniques, as well as educational resources from the Center's Interactive Constitution.
Join teachers from across the country and engage with ideologically diverse constitutional scholars and master teachers for one of our summer professional development opportunities. Apply for a weeklong virtual Summer Teacher Institute or our new three-day virtual Summer Teacher Workshop in July 2021.
