The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC), in cooperation with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA), is pleased to offer a series of instructional guides to help teachers across the country bring the 56th Presidential Inauguration to life in their classrooms. The guides are now available on the PIC website.
The lesson plans are divided into three sections: “Learning History,“ which highlights the evolution of Inaugural events beginning with George Washington’s Inauguration in 1789, “Making History,“ which lets students follow along with President-elect Obama’s swearing in on January 20th, and “Living History,“ which encourages students to continue studying the American Government and the Presidency beyond Inauguration Day. The materials are geared toward students from elementary school to high school, and offer lesson modifications based on the students’ ages.
