Constitution Day Resources:

Federal law mandates a celebration of the Constitution in public schools, on or around September 17. This section provides educators with an array of resources to make Constitution Day easy. Among them, you will find multimedia resources, lesson plans and links to other organizations that have complementary materials.

In the Classroom:

In the Classroom links to the Annenberg Classroom, a partnered website sponsored by the Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands. This searchable index of lesson plans, multimedia content and web resources includes interdisciplinary, teacher-focused lessons from The Annenberg Public Policy Center's educational programs. Find educational resources from CopeCareDeal.org; FactCheck.org; Justice Learning; Justice Talking; and Student Voices as well as original lesson plans from teachers who regularly use the site.

Constitution Day has its own mini-website within the Justice Learning domain. From this website, you can learn about and register to participate in Constitution Day events, preview video, learn about available classroom materials created specifically for Constitution Day, and keep abreast of news as it develops.
