American Civic Tradition Fellowship
The ACT Fellowship is a yearlong professional enrichment program for K-12 civics, government, and history teachers.
A unique opportunity for K-12 teachers to study foundational texts with top scholars and peers.
The American Civic Tradition Fellowship is the Founding Civics Initiative’s signature program, attracting top middle and high school social studies educators from around the country.
The fellowship consists of a weeklong in-person institute in the summer and monthly virtual meetings during the following academic year. In addition to in-depth discussions of primary texts, teachers will develop lesson plans and curricular materials for the classroom.
Expenses related to attending the institute are paid for by the Jack Miller Center, and fellows will receive a $1,000 stipend for completion of the yearlong fellowship.
“The ACT Fellowship is one of the finest professional development experiences I have participated in as an educator. Every aspect of the program reflected a remarkable commitment to quality. I left inspired, better equipped to engage my students in thoughtful discussions about the Declaration and the Constitution.”
