Educators

World War II General Omar Bradley once said, "Teachers are the true soldiers of democracy. Others can defend it, but only teachers can create it." The Center for the Constitution offers educators several "graduate level" and introductory seminars in American constitutionalism, which provide them with re-certification hours, teaching resources and a professional network. The Center for the Constitution competes for and has won several National Endowment for the Humanities Landmarks of American History and Culture grants for nationwide teacher workshops. In addition, we work with school systems across the country as a site to host Teaching American History programs, and we are partnered with the Gilder-Lehrman Institute to host nationwide teacher programs. Montpelier is the Virginia host of the national We The People: The Citizen and the Constitution program, administered by the Center for Civic Education (CCE).
