ED 550D The Constitution: Today and Tomorrow

(3 credits)
This course explores innovative approaches to highlighting the Constitution’s relevance to current and future events. Working with distinguished historians and scholars, participants gain knowledge of the Constitution and skill in deliberation techniques and develop strategies to integrate current events into classroom teaching. Using the Constitution as one of the best examples of democratic deliberation, students study and discuss current issues within its context and then employ the strategies of democratic deliberation in reaching consensus. During the five-day institute, teachers have the opportunity to develop curriculum connections to the content presented and complete a curriculum integration project after the institute as part of the course assessment.
