The Jackson Center's teacher workshops are designed to strengthen classroom techniques and provide in-depth, hands-on information.

Cass Sunstein, writing for Bloomberg View, June 1, 2015, stated, "If we had to preserve just one Supreme Court opinion to show some other civilization what American constitutional law is all about, I'd pick Jackson's prose poem in the Barnette Case."

Six students join the center this summer to aid the center as well as learn through Jackson's legacy.
