More Perfect Union

More Perfect UnionMore Perfect Union is CRFC's curriculum for 7th/8th grade students studying the Constitution. The six-unit curriculum helps students develop a deeper understanding of content related to the founding documents of our country, and how constitutional principles are represented in our government.

The curriculum includes interactive teaching methodologies such as civil conversations, simulations, case studies, human continuum, and use of outside resource persons, particularly attorneys. Teachers in Chicago Public Schools and Illinois School District U-46 are implementing the curriculum and providing feedback to CRFC and each other via CRFC's blog.

Major support provided by Lloyd A. Fry Foundation (Chicago Public Schools) and the Grand Victoria Foundation (District U-46, Elgin).
