60-Minute Civics: America 250: Reimagining 1776 for Today’s Classrooms

January 15, 2026 • 7:00-8:00 pm EST

As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, join us for a thought-provoking evening on how to teach the founding era in ways that empower and include all students. Whether through the civic ideals of equality and participation or the complex legacies of liberty and exclusion, this session invites teachers to explore 1776 as both a historical turning point and a living civic promise.

About

CCE LogoThe Center for Civic Education is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating an informed and thoughtful citizenry committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy. We do this primarily through our flagship programs, We the People and Project Citizen, but we also provide high-quality, inquiry-driven curricular programs that bring civic learning to life. The Center additionally equips educators with professional learning that builds confidence and capacity to teach civics with depth and relevance, unlocks students’ civic agency by creating opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and share their voices through simulated hearings and other public forums. These initiatives build a national community committed to strengthening civic understanding and participation for all and root everything in decades of research and evidence. Learn more.
