In 2020 MCCHE was selected to be one of the Center for Civic Education’s research sites delivering the James Madison Legacy Project Expansion (JMLPE). The aim of this U.S. Department of Education grant is to empower underserved students for informed, thoughtful, and productive citizenship. MCCHE has delivered a innovative professional learning model to improve instruction of the We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution curriculum for students in middle and high school. Through this JMLPE program, MCCHE has reached 75 educators and nearly 3,00 students across the state of Maryland, contributing to development of civic competencies to ensure all learners are career and college-ready and well-prepared to participate in civic life.
