Symposium for Teachers with UW – Eau Claire: The Constitution and the Founding Era
The Menard Center for Constitutional Studies at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire is hosting this three-day symposium for middle and high school teachers in partnership with the Jack Miller Center.
This year’s symposium will focus on the Constitution and the Founding era, including their influence over our current form and understanding of government. Session topics will include the Bill of Rights, the 1787 Constitutional Convention, and the structure of the Constitution.
Scholar sessions will be led by faculty from UW-Eau Claire’s Political Science and Criminal Justice Department. JMC Teacher Programs Manager Emilee McHorney will lead a classroom application workshop on incorporating the primary sources discussed into teachers’ own classrooms and lessons.
The program will take place at the Metropolis Resort and Conference Center in Eau Claire. Meals, resort lodging, and up to four waterpark passes will be provided. Participants will receive a $300 stipend for completion of the program.
