FREE Professional Development Opportunity for Civics and U.S. History Teachers

Want to know more about America’s founding? Curious about how current events connect to Constitutional issues? If you are a middle or high school teacher who teaches civics or U.S. history, you are invited to apply to be part of the first year of the James Madison Legacy Project.

Only 10 teachers will be selected for the project. Teachers will have access to Constitutional scholars and teacher mentors who will help participants implement best practices in the teaching of the Constitution. Each participant will receive a $500 stipend with reimbursement for mileage and lodging, if needed, We the People textbooks and two license renewal credits.

The weekend seminars in 2016 are planned:

• Jan. 29-30
• Feb. 26-27
• April 1-2

The application deadline is Dec. 18. Learn more about the James Madison Legacy Project or contact John Wheeler or Stefanie Wager.
