Welcome Educators and Students
Whether preparing for a class visit to the
Center or looking for instructional materials to use in the classroom, the
National Constitution Center provides resources and services for educators.
The Center’s school and group visits are self-guided and thematic
alternatives to traditional museum tours. Our Web site provides background
material and reservation information for school and group visits.
When visiting the museum, we welcome teachers and students to stop by the
Annenberg Center for Education and Outreach to browse through our collection of
history, civics, and social studies reference materials. Our educational
outreach program offers a range of curriculum resources centered on both
teaching the Constitution and promoting civic engagement in communities and
schools.
Classroom instructional materials include Current Events for the Classroom,
which help students learn about the Constitution through a series of discussion
guides and essays focusing on daily headlines. The Teacher’s Backpack contains
opportunities and resources for teachers and administrators.
Students and families should visit For Kids! to play the Save the Bill
of Rights game or a constitutional crossword puzzle. Before visiting the Center
get the Constitution Quest sheets, which help guide children through an
exciting search for museum exhibit items like the mystery faces from the
American National Tree or chads from a voting box used in the 2000 election.
Constitutional Quests also commemorate people and celebrations by focusing on
themes such as Women in the Constitution, The Presidents, and a Quest created
just for Scouts.
