The National Constitution Center is hosting a free, in-person professional learning workshop in partnership with the Heard Museum and the Arizona Department of Education in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Using the Center’s nonpartisan resources, Educational Framework, and interactive protocols, participants will explore the topic of Native Americans and the Constitution. Through engagement with constitutional sources, museum exhibit exploration, scholarly insight, and classroom application time, participants will develop connections and consider how the Constitution has shaped the relationship between Tribal Nations and the United States.
Meals: This session will include an opening night dinner at a restaurant close to the museum on Friday evening for participants arriving the day before the workshop (details to be announced). Saturday will include breakfast and a boxed lunch for participants. Dietary restrictions will be accommodated.
Stipend: Participating teachers will receive a $100 stipend. Participating teachers from outside of Maricopa County are eligible for an additional travel stipend.
During this professional learning, participants will:
- Engage with the National Constitution Center’s classroom ready resources and protocols
- Collaborate with Arizona educators
- Interact with museum exhibits at the Heard Museum
- Engage with constitutional questions and civil dialogue practices to help students participate thoughtfully in the classroom
