Teacher Advisory Council

The National Constitution Center Teacher Advisory Council (TAC) is a professional learning community of educators who collaborate with the Center to share best practices for teaching constitutional, historical, and civics topics.

“Joining the Teacher Advisory Council enabled me to use my experience to enhance educational resources and support fellow educators in delivering impactful civic education.” –Amy H., U.S. history teacher, Texas
