2010 Summer Teacher Institutes

It's good to think about the summer thaw in the midst of a cold winter!

The National Constitution Center is proud to present its Summer Teacher Institutes for 2010! This year we are introducing a new institute, sponsored by the Annenberg Foundation, called America's Constitution and the World. The Annenberg Summer Teacher Institute, Changing the Constitution: Politics and Law in American Constitutional Development, is making its fourth appearance at the Constitution Center and will be held in a bi-coastal format, using videoconferencing technology, in conjunction with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Library in Simi Valley, California. The National Endownment for the Humanities' Landmarks in American History Workshop, A Revolution in Government: Philadelphia, American Independence and the Constitution, 1765-1791, will return for the fifth year.

These week-long workshops are a great opportunity for teachers to spend time in historic Philadelphia, learn from renowned scholars, and create classroom-ready resources with talented teachers from around the country. All workshops offer a generous stipend and travel reimbursement.

Detailed information about all three workshops as well as applications can be found at our Summer Teacher Institute Website, http://www.constitutioncenter.org/ncc_edu_Summer_Workshops.aspx, or you can email teacher@constitutioncenter.org.
