We asked our 2024 Civics for All of US Teacher Institute cohort, “Why is it important to teach the Constitution? Here are some of their insightful answers.

Civics for All of US is the national civic education initiative of the National Archives. Our interactive distance learning programs for students and teachers draw upon the vast holdings of the National Archives to promote the knowledge, skills, and dispositions students need for civic engagement in the 21st century. Each program is led by one of our educators located at National Archives sites, the Center for Legislative Archives, and Presidential Libraries across the country. Learn more here: civics.archives.gov
