Abstract	Education for citizenship in a free society has long been a primary goal of social studies education. Knowledge of the Constitution, its principles, values, history, and application to contemporary American Life is an essential of citizenship education and this book is intended to stimulate interest and improvement in teaching practices on the Constitution. The book is organized into three chapters. Chapter 1 assesses the status of the Constitution in the current secondary school curriculum; Chapter 2 presents several types of lessons and teaching strategies that have been used successfully in secondary school courses on American history, government, and civics; and Chapter 3 reviews current projects and learning materials developed especially for the Bicentennial. Appendixes, which make up more than half the volume, present seven model lessons which exemplify teaching strategies discussed in chapter 2. Also provided is an extensive select bibliography which includes ERIC resources on teaching about the Constitution, books on constitutional history and principles of government, and computer software for teaching about the Constitution.
