Helping K-12 Teachers Bring Primary Sources into the Classroom
JMC Completes All-Time Record Number of K-12 Programs over Summer of 2023

As our efforts with K-12 teachers continue to grow, we've reached an all-time high for summer programs: JMC has completed 24 teacher education programs across 9 states this summer alone!

The Jack Miller Center programs provide a unique opportunity to study the subjects of American history and political thought with professors from the JMC network. Our goal is to help K-12 teachers improve the way they understand and teach the American political tradition through the use of primary sources. 

Faculty partners across the country led discussions with educators on the American Revolution, Tocqueville, the First Amendment, Frederick Douglass, and more.
