Over Presidents' Day weekend, February 13-16, teams of middle school teachers from across the country participated in a training seminar for the We the People Initiative for High-Needs Students. The seminar provided the teachers with content expertise and interactive methods in the We the People curriculum. In addition, each school team was linked with an experienced We the People mentor teacher who will encourage, support, and assist the team throughout the academic year.

The Center is celebrating the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth by publishing a downloadable eight-page lesson and companion website for high school students on Lincoln's legacy to American constitutionalism and citizenship.

The Center sponsored a variety of professional development institutes for teachers of We the People programs, offering training, skills development and assessments.
