In the Center's Scholar Exchanges, students are connected with a constitutional scholar for a virtual interactive class about the Constitution. All sessions are available via Zoom and can be accessed from home computer, laptop, or phone. View the full schedule here.

Teachers can also request a private exchange to be held with a scholar and just their classes. To schedule, teachers can fill out this form and someone from the Center will help arrange. Private sessions take place on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Teachers can join us on Mondays from 12-12:20 p.m. for open-source professional development programs. These programs highlight the Center’s free, online resources and strategies to support constitutional literacy education in the classroom and remotely. Online professional development programs are facilitated by a member of the Center’s education team and hosted on Zoom. Each week features different resources that reflect the topic of that week’s Scholar Exchanges. For more information and to register, click here.
