Education

The National Constitution Center provides K-12 curriculum, professional learning, and student programs that make constitutional education engaging and relevant. Find resources that will help you create impactful civic learning experiences.

How We Teach the Constitution

The National Constitution Center’s framework for learning integrates three main components: historical foundations through storytelling; constitutional interpretation skills; and civil dialogue and reflection. This approach provides a strong foundation in the Founding stories and judicial interpretations of the Constitution; teaches learners of all ages to separate their political views from their constitutional views—asking not what the government should do, but what it constitutionally may do.
