VOTE like our future depends on you.

Thank you to the Andrew Carnegie Foundation for the grant that allowed The Center for Civic Education to hold an institute for We the People High School teachers from California, Maryland, Kansas, West Virginia and Hawaii. We gathered in Minneapolis at the Minnesota Humanities Center and they were excellent hosts. We explored the NEW We the People textbook and developed ways to encourage participation in regions who have not benefitted from our curriculum. It takes skill to teach civil discourse while discussing important Constitutional issues, and our scholars were terrific in modeling great teaching practices. While visiting the Federal Courthouse we met the prosecutor during a sentencing hearing and he is a We The People alum from South Dakota!

California WTPPC is always grateful to participate in these institutes. Our new teachers got so much needed support to be successful in implementing the curriculum in their classes.

Recently teachers from throughout California and Hawaii gathered in Monterey, CA for the ICC Project Citizen Institute on how to help students understand how to influence public policy.

Thank you to all the amazing team members that made it possible and to all the passionate teachers who attended. We know the learning and development and commitment to civic education will be carried back to their schools with their students as they implement this hands-on curriculum to create real change for the people and by the people.
