Constitutional Rights: Origins and Travels
Presented with the Los Angeles County Office of Education*
Tuesday, April 13, 2021, 3:30 to 5 p.m. PT / 6:30 to 8 p.m. ET
In this session, educators will learn about the National Constitution Center’s educational framework and online resources and interactives. Educators will explore the Center’s Writing Rights interactive, which provides insight into the origins of each amendment in the Bill of Rights through primary source analysis. The session will also model the Rights Around the World interactive, which compares the rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution to those included in founding documents from other countries. These online resources, and others, can be integrated seamlessly into an online, hybrid, or in-person learning environment.
