Educator Community

Join the NCCed Community

The National Constitution Center is focused on working with educators and scholars to empower classrooms throughout the country with the tools, knowledge, and pedagogical practice they need to understand the Constitution and its relevance to American’s lives.

This August, we’re sharing resources designed to support educators and students for a year of constitutional learning. Follow along for teacher-tested, nonpartisan learning resources designed to engage all learners.

Constitutional Fellows Program

About the Constitutional Fellows Program

The National Constitution Center has embarked on one of the most ambitious undertakings in our history—creating a semester-long Constitution 101 online course, grounded in the reading of primary source documents.

The Center is now working with high school teachers, schools, and leaders who are interested in piloting the course and providing the Center with feedback and data in an effort to understand its efficacy, including strengths and weaknesses. As a part of this fellowship, each member agrees to implement and evaluate the Constitution 101 15-week curriculum for high school students. National Constitution Center Constitutional Fellows will receive a $2,500 stipend for the year-long fellowship, which will be processed quarterly.

Who Can Apply?

The Constitutional Fellows program invites educators from all high school-level social studies, history, government, and literacy disciplines to apply.

Application Requirements:

• Active educator in a school system that has direct access to high school classroom
• Educator of social studies, American government, American history, or English language arts, or literature
• Ability to use the 15-module curriculum in your classroom to completion, with limited modification from the educator.
• Agreement form signed by department lead, curriculum supervisor, or principal.
