"Democracy must be reborn in every generation,
and education is its midwife."
                                                                 - John Dewey

Professional development in American history and social studies education ensures an active student citizenry and a strengthened community. Today, social studies education too often receives an insignificant amount of attention.

Thinking Citizen Scholars understands the value of high quality social studies education as well as the demands faced by administrators and teachers. Our scholars are experts in American history while our master teachers are social studies educators who integrate the latest research-based instructional methods as well as effective reading strategies.

Thinking Citizen Scholars collaborates with school districts, Intermediate Units, and charter schools to apply for $1,000,000 Teaching American history grants.
