This week (and every week!), we like to celebrate our constitutional heroes in the classroom. Teachers across the nation work on the front lines every day to bring civic education to their students. Together, iCivics, Facing History and Ourselves, the Bill of Rights Institute, the National Constitution Center, the Center for Civic Education, the Ashbrook Center, Generation Citizen, and Mikva Challenge want to send this message of gratitude to civics and history teachers across the nation.
All of us at the National Constitution Center are grateful to members of our Teacher Advisory Board and Teacher Advisory Council who are integral in helping us support teachers around the country doing this critically important work. You inspire us!
