About We the
People:
We The People...The Citizen and the Constitution is an
instructional program on the history and principles of American
constitutional democracy for elementary, middle, and high school
students. The program is based on curricular materials developed
by
The Center for Civic
Education and acclaimed by leading
educators. Simulated congressional hearings,
excellent for performance assessment, are built
into the curriculum. At the high school level,
classes may choose to enter a competition
structured as a simulated hearing where their
knowledge of the Constitution is tested.
Interested in FREE teaching
materials on the Constitution? Contact your district We the
People representative (listed below) to learn how to
qualify. These materials are aligned to the Ohio Academic
Content Standards for Social Studies and English Language Arts.
Coordinators are
aligned with the Ohio Congressional Districts.
Each WTP representative has a limited number of
free sets of teaching materials available by
request to the coordinator.
