Join Our Community of Educators

Join the Teacher Advisory Council

The National Constitution Center Teacher Advisory Council is a professional learning community of educators who collaborate with the Center to share best practices for teaching constitutional and civic topics. Through a lens at the intersection of U.S. history and current events, the Teacher Advisory Council advises the Center on programs and resources that would best support classroom instruction on constitutional fundamentals.  

We are currently seeking applicants from the classroom education field to join our Teacher Advisory Council, which is open to educators who teach fifth grade to college level students from all types of school environments and locations. Applications are open through June 30.
