Jeff Whittingham, Department of Middle/Secondary Education & Instructional Technologies, received a $40,000 grant for a program titled, ?We The People: The Citizen and the Constitution.?
The grant is funded by the U.S. Department of Education through the Center for Civic Education.
?We the People? programs promote civic education at the elementary, middle and secondary levels. The grant will provide in-service opportunities for teachers as well as curriculum materials.
Teachers across the state will receive classroom sets of textbooks. The program will host summer institutes on the UCA campus that will offer graduate credit for UCA students.
