New We the People High School Textbook Released

The Center for Civic Education has released a new fifth edition of its flagship textbook, We the People: The Citizen & the Constitution, Level 3, for high school students. Beyond teaching facts about the Constitution and the fundamental principles of American government, this inquiry-based curriculum transforms classrooms into forums for civil discourse. The revised edition contains six units and 36 lessons, a trusted format that has been updated with the latest developments in American constitutional governance.

New in this edition are Archive Investigations, where students use primary sources to deepen their understanding of constitutional issues; Beyond the Basics sidebars that spur students to ask deeper questions about the topics covered in the lessons; Stop and Reflect prompts that challenge students to extend their thinking and make connections between the text and other concepts and ideas; and Collaborate Together questions that drive civil dialogue and critical thinking in teams to extend learning and consider different perspectives. Order from Gibbs Smith Education or learn more below. Available in print and digital editions.
