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.
Constitutional Conversations and Civil Dialogue
Why is civil dialogue important? How was it used during the arguments around the U.S. Constitution? What are meaningful ways to incorporate this type of discussion into your curriculum?
Building the U.S. Constitution
What rights make up the structure of the U.S. Constitution? How do the articles define rights and responsibilities at the core of the government? How have these rights changed throughout history?
Battles for Freedom and Equality
What has the struggle for freedom and equality looked like throughout history? Where are constitutional protections of these rights? What movements have defined this struggle?
Available exclusively for members of the Center's Teacher Advisory Council
The Bill of Rights
What were some of the influences on the shaping of the Bill of Rights? Why are those specific rights included in the Bill of Rights? How have the Bill of Rights changed since the founding?
There is no cost to attend a summer program, but interested educators must complete a successful application by Friday, January 29, 2021.
