For @CivicEducation VP & Chief Program Officer Aruna Patel, civic learning and literacy are not competing priorities — they are deeply interdependent. If we want strong readers, we should also want strong citizens. Read more in @fulcrum_us: bit.ly/4yHMbdC

This is a stellar group working on making @ConstitutionCtr resources even more accessible for teachers and students! It's going to be a great year of learning and creating together 💪🇺🇸
Last evening, we had our first Teacher Advisory Board meeting of the year! I am looking forward to creating some really great resources with such a wonderful group of educators! #NCCed
Breyer reminds us to speak with and listen to people with whom we (assume we) disagree. We have so much more in common than we realize! I've used his older civil dialogue clips in class for ages, so I love that there's an updated one from this summer at @ConstitutionCtr!
Amid the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer talked about how to find agreement in the modern era of polarization with U.S. Appeals Court Judge Cheryl Ann Krause at the National @ConstitutionCtr in Philadelphia.

I've talked about @whignewtons's Last Branch Standing with so many educators this summer that it's worth shouting: if you ❤️ law and the Constitution, you don't have to be a lawyer (with debt, AI coming for your job, and a rough work-life balance). BE A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER! 🤓
