Use story to support civic understanding
This space is for educators who want to help students understand civic ideas through story, discussion, and reflection—without turning learning into worksheets or political debate.
The learning here is anchored in The Constitution Kids, a narrative that introduces constitutional ideas as lived experiences rather than abstract rules. The platform provides clear civic anchors and guiding questions that help students make sense of authority, rights, responsibility, and participation as they appear in the story and in everyday life.
Everything in this space is available to explore without creating an account.
How educators use this space
- Pair chapters from the book with focused civic concepts.
- Support discussion and reflection without prescribing conclusions.
- Help students recognize how constitutional structures shape real decisions.
- Introduce civics as orientation rather than memorization.
The emphasis is on clarity, not coverage.
Ways to begin
You can start by browsing the civic topics, which map directly to moments in the story and explain the underlying concepts in plain language. Many educators use these topics to shape one day discussions or short multi day sequences.
