Constitution Week
Constitution Week will be from Monday, Sept. 17 through Sunday, Sept. 23. During this time, all citizens are encouraged to celebrate our Constitution and reaffirm the rights and obligations of citizens. All educational institutions receiving federal funding are required to hold an educational program pertaining to the United States Constitution on that day.
Schools may determine what kind of educational programs are appropriate for their students. Some informational resources pertaining to the Constitution that may be useful in planning educational activities are listed on the USED’s website - https://www2.ed.gov/policy/fund/guid/constitutionday.html.
The team at iCivics has a curriculum unit with lessons, visit the website here. Information about citizenship and civics is also available at other nonpartisan websites including the Bill of Rights Institute. https://www.icivics.org/curriculum/road-constitution
