Global Philadelphia Association is proud to partner with educational institutions across the city to provide other external resources that will enrich classroom learning. Below you will find links to toolkits, videos, and other materials created by our partners.
The resources provided by the Constitution Center support the building of constitutional knowledge, support the practice of civil discourse, and provide a place where we can come together to explore different viewpoints grounded in thoughtful reflection.
The National Constitution Center offers free resources to make constitutional education engaging and accessible for students and teachers nationwide. Educators can access curriculum like Constitution 101 (with a middle school edition launching in 2025), professional learning opportunities, interactive digital tools, primary sources, and virtual student programs such as Scholar Exchanges. Additional classroom-ready materials—like podcasts, lesson plans, and curated collections—help bring history and civics to life.
In preparation for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, the National Constitution Center is creating new resources to help learners of all ages explore America’s founding principles. Highlights include an Interactive Declaration of Independence, the America at 250 Toolkit, classroom civic calendars, teacher-developed resources, and nationwide convenings modeled on the Center’s We the People podcast and America’s Town Hall. These free tools invite educators, students, and families to rediscover the ideas and debates that continue to shape our nation.
Becoming American: Philadelphia's Story is a feature-length documentary exploring the founding of the United States through the lens of Philadelphia, America's first capital — with a particular focus on the vital, often-overlooked role Black Philadelphians played in shaping the nation's founding institutions. Featuring insight from historians and scholars, the film is a rich classroom resource for exploring race, identity, and the full story of America's founding as we mark the 250th anniversary.`
Global Philadelphia Association's Education Newsletters offer new ideas, activities and project inspirations for classrooms throughout the school year.
