Opportunities for Middle School Social Studies Classes

The National Constitution Center hosts free Scholar ExchangesLIVE interactive online classes for students—every week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Scholar Exchanges are:

  • engaging for students, with no teacher preparation needed.
  • easily incorporated into existing schedule and curriculum.
  • free and supported with ready-to-use resources.
  • helpful in encouraging civil dialogue, critical thinking, and active listening.

Our “Fun Friday” sessions feature a respected, expert speaker to engage with students on the weekly topic.

This Friday, February 19, we welcome Ralph Young, professor of history at Temple University and the author of Dissent in America: Voices that Shaped a Nation. Professor Young will discuss this week’s topic: First Amendment, Assembly and Petition with students from around the country.

Register students for this interactive session with Professor Ralph Young

Friday, February 19, at 1 p.m. ET

Feel free to forward this on to  social studies teachers; they can view the full schedule of upcoming Scholar Exchanges through May 2021. With different levels, repeated sessions, and recordings, we aim to fit your school schedule no matter where learning takes place this year.

We hope to see your classes at our next discussion!
