| Description | Public Programs and Civic Initiative: Traveling History & Civics Program In 2008, the Center initiated a Traveling History & Civics program that sends museum educators into schools throughout the region to present interactive educational programs. The Center also maintains a Resource Center for teachers on-site. Young Citizens Scholarships - The Center subsidizes transportation and admission costs for Title I schools to help defray the cost of field trips for underserved students. Summer Camp - Four two-week sessions and two one-week sessions of the Center's American Adventure Camp are conducted annually from June through August, offering a variety of civic-themed activities for children aged 6 - 13. The Center also offers camp programs in conjunction with spring and winter school breaks. PennCORD - The Center is the lead administrative partner in the Pennsylvania Coalition for Representative Democracy (PennCORD), a consortium of governmental agencies, civic education organizations, and schools whose purpose is to promote civic learning through a program of advocacy and outreach. PennCORD initiatives include a website, teacher workshops, and school-based civic-engagement programs. Constitution High School (CHS) - In partnership with the School District of Philadelphia, the Center opened in September 2006 a magnet Constitution High School. The Center is partnering with the school district to provide programming and curricular material for the school, which graduated its first senior class in 2009. Among its many initiatives with CHS, the Center runs a five-phase workshop series to support the students on their National History Day projects, as well as offering two elective courses on Public History and Museum Studies. | Description |

| Description | Education and Exhibits: The Center produces a variety of programs for students and teachers. These include virtual and on-site workshops for teachers, class field trips, themed on-site educational packages, and the creation of a wide array of teaching materials. Ongoing Teacher Workshops - These full or half-day workshops will provide teachers with access to the Center's core and special exhibitions. The Center's education staff presents grade-level-appropriate sessions about the Center's new educational projects, incorporating the Center's educational philosophy. In addition, teachers receive classroom-ready resources and learn how to apply the Center's civic education framework in their classrooms. Summer Teacher Workshops and Institutes - Over the course of the summer, the Center has offered both an Annenberg Summer Teacher Institute and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Teacher Workshop. Both of these programs are week-long sessions that bring teachers from across the nation together to discuss and analyze the founding era and the U.S. Constitution in both historic and modern context. Both the Institute and Workshop incorporate the Center's innovative museum exhibitions, lectures by leading scholars, discussion and classroom application, and visits to numerous historic landmarks. In 2010, the Center held the final session of the five-year Annenberg Institute grant project. In 2011, the Center will once again offer the NEH workshop for two summer sessions in July. The Exchange - In 2007, the Center launched a nationwide distance-learning program for high school students called The Exchange: A Marketplace of Student Ideas. In 2011, The Exchange will begin using Adobe Connect video-conferencing technology to further expand the program's reach to link students from schools across the country in deliberations about current constitutional issues. Curriculum materials are provided for every installment of The Exchange and are made available to participants before every program. Visitors to the program's website are able to download all curriculum materials, as well as view highlight videos from past installments. | Description |
